Lyrics Born In the USA - Rock Classic Hits AllStars

Born In the USA

Born down in a dead man’s town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that’s been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just to cover it up, now
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., now
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A
Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says, «Son, if it was up to me…»
Went down to see my V.A.
man
He said, «Son, don’t you understand, now?»
Oh yea
Oh no
No, no, no
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They’re still there, he’s all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms, now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
Ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run, ain’t got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A., now
Born in the U.S.A
I’m a long gone daddy in the U.S.A., now
Born 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
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no
Oh no, no
Wooh
