Bruce Springsteen - Born In the U.S.A. Lyrics

[Verse 1]Born down in a dead man's townThe first kick I took was when I hit the groundYou end up like a dog that's been beat too muchTill you spend half your life just covering up[Chorus]Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. [Verse 2]Got in a little hometown jamSo they put a rifle in my handSent me off to a foreign landTo go and kill the yellow man[Chorus]Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. [Verse 3]Come back home to the refineryHiring man says, “Son, if it was up to me”Went down to see my V.A. manHe said, “Son, don't you understand”[Verse 4]I had a brother at Khe SanhFighting off the Viet CongThey're still there, he's all goneHe had a woman he loved in SaigonI got a picture of him in her arms now[Verse 5]Down in the shadow of the penitentiaryOut by the gas fires of the refineryI'm ten years burning down the roadNowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go[Chorus]Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. nowBorn in the U.S.A. I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. nowBorn in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now
