0:16Doublewide Quick Stop midnight T-top
0:20Jack in her Cherry Coke town
0:22Momma and Daddy put their roots right here
0:25'Cause this is where the car broke down
0:28Yellow dog school bus kickin' up red dust
0:31Pickin' us up by a barbed wire fence
0:34M-tv on the RCA
0:36No A.C in the vents
0:38We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby
0:42Born in the USA
0:45Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots
0:48New York to LA
0:49We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin'
0:53Baby, come give me a kiss
0:56Put me on the cover of the Rollin' Stone
0:58Uptown down home American kids
1:01Growin' up in little pink houses
1:04Makin' out on living room couches

1:10A little messed up, but we're all alright
1:14♪
1:18Baptist church parkin' lot, tryin' not to get caught
1:21Take her home and give her your jacket
1:24Makin' it to second base, but sayin' you went all the way
1:27Monday afternoon at practice
1:30Sister's got a boyfriend Daddy doesn't like
1:35Now he's sittin' out back, 3030 in his lap
1:38In the blue bug zapper light
1:41We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby
1:44Born in the USA
1:47Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots
