BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Born In The U. S. A. lyrics

rate me

Born down in a dead man's town<br>The first kick I took was when I hit the ground<br>You end up like a dog that's been beat too much<br>Till you spend half your life just covering up<br><br>Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a.<br>I was born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.<br><br>Got in a little hometown jam<br>So they put a rifle in my hand<br>Sent me off to a foreign land<br>To go and kill the yellow man<br><br>Born in the u.s..a....<br><br>Come back home to the refinery<br>Hiring man said son if it was up to me<br>Went down to see my v.a. man<br>He said son, don't you understand<br><br>I had a brother at khe sahn<br>Fighting off the viet cong<br>They're still there, he's all gone<br><br>He had a woman he loved in saigon<br>I got a picture of him in her arms now<br><br>Down in the shadow of the penitentiary<br>Out by the gas fires of the refinery<br>I'm ten years burning down the road<br>Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go<br><br>Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a.<br>Born in the u.s.a., I'm a long gone daddy in the u.s.a.<br>Born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.<br>Born in the u.s.a., I'm a cool rocking daddy in the u.s.a.
