Born down in a dead man town
\nThe first kick I took was when I hit the ground
\nYou end up like a dog that’s been beat too much
\nTill you spend half your life just covering up<\/p>\n
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
\nI was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.<\/p>\n
Got in a little hometown jam
\nSo they put a rifle in my hand
\nSent me off to a foreign land
\nTo go and kill the yellow man<\/p>\n
Born in the U.S.A…<\/p>\n
Come back home to the refinery
\nHiring man said son if it was up to me
\nWent down to see my v.a. man
\nHe said son, don’t you understand<\/p>\n
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
\nFighting off the Viet Cong
\nThey’re still there, he’s all gone<\/p>\n
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
\nI got a picture of him in her arms now<\/p>\n
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
\nOut by the gas fires of the refinery
\nI’m ten years burning down the road
\nNowhere to run aint got nowhere to go<\/p>\n
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the u.s.a.
\nBorn in the U.S.A., I’m a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
\nBorn in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
\nBorn in the U.S.A., I’m a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
