Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
Born down in a dead man's town | |
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground | |
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much | |
'Til you spend half your life just covering up | |
CHORUS | |
Born in the U.S.A. | |
Born in the U.S.A. | |
Born in the U.S.A. | |
Born in the U.S.A. | |
I got in a little hometown jam | |
And so they put a rifle in my hands | |
Sent me off to Vietnam | |
To go and kill the yellow man | |
CHORUS | |
Come back home to the refinery | |
Hiring man says 'Son if it was up to me' | |
I go down to see the V.A. man | |
He said 'Son don't you understand' | |
CHORUS | |
I had a buddy at Khe Sahn | |
Fighting off the Viet Cong | |
They're still there, he's all gone | |
He had a little girl in Saigon | |
I got a picture of him in her arms | |
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary | |
Out by the gas fires of the refinery | |
I'm ten years down the road | |
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go | |
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. | |
Born in the U.S.A. | |
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. | |
Born in the U.S.A. |
