Born down in a dead man´s 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 usa

I was born in the usa

I was born in the usa

Born in the usa

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 usa...

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"

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 penitentiary

Out by the gas fires of the refinery

I´m ten years burning down the road

Nowhere to run ain´t got nowhere to go

Born in the usa....

I´m a cool rocking daddy in the usa.
