Born In The U.S.A. Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

0:17Born down in a dead man's town

0:20The first kick I took was when I hit the ground

0:25You end up like a dog that's been beat too much

0:28'Til you spend half your life just covering up

0:33Born in the U.S.A.

0:36I was

0:37Born in the U.S.A.

0:40I was

0:41Born in the U.S.A.

0:45Born in the U.S.A. now

0:49I got in a little hometown jam

0:53So they put a rifle in my hands

0:57Sent me off to a foreign land

1:01To go and kill the yellow man

1:05Born in the U.S.A.

1:08I was

1:09Born in the U.S.A.

1:12I

1:13Born in the U.S.A.

1:16I was

1:17Born in the U.S.A.

1:21Come back home to the refinery

1:24Hiring man says, "Son, if it was up to me"

1:29Went down to see my V.A. man

1:32He said, "Son, don't you understand?" now

1:52I had a brother at Khe Sahn

1:56Fighting off the Vietcong

2:00They're still there, he's all gone

2:08He had a woman in Saigon

2:11I got a picture of him in her arms now

2:24Down in the shadow of the penitentiary

2:26Out by the gas fires of the refinery

2:31I'm ten years down the road

2:35Nowhere to run and got nowhere to go

2:39Born in the U.S.A

2:42I was

2:43Born in the U.S.A

2:46Born in the U.S.A

2:50I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.

2:55Born in the U.S.A.

2:59Born in the U.S.A

3:03Born in the U.S.A

3:05I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A. Now

3:11♪
