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
'Til you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
I got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
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?"
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Vietcong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh)
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run and got nowhere to go
I'm a long-gone daddy in the USA
Born in the USA
I'm a cool rocking daddy in the USA
Born in the USA
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh)
