The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
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
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U. S. A...
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said son if it was up to me
Went down to see my V. A. Man
He said son, don't you understand
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
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run aint got nowhere to go
Born in the U. S. A, I was born in the U. S. A
Born in the U. S. A, I'm a long gone daddy in the U. S. A
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
Born down in a dead man town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that's been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up 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 Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man Born in the U. S. A... Come back home to the refinery Hiring man said son if it was up to me Went down to see my V. A. Man He said son, don't you understand 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 I'm ten years burning down the road Nowhere to run aint got nowhere to go Born in the U. S. A, I was born in the U. S. A Born in the U. S. A, I'm a long gone daddy in the U. S. A 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.
