Born in the USA, Bruce Springsteen

Born down in a dead man's town---

The first kick I took was when I hit the ground---

You can end up like a dog, who's been beat too much

Its a" Mad Hatter" life, just covering up

( Chorus ):

Born in the USA(I was)

" "

" "----( I was)

" " now--

---

---

Got in a little hometown jam---

Got in trouble, yeah, with my hands

Sent me off to a foreign land---

to go and kill the yellow man---

( Chorus )

Come back home to all the finery

I was back, as if, it was up to me---

went down to see my VA man ( He said, )

" Son, don't you understand---now---

( Chorus )

Oh, yeah

Oh, no no no no

---

I had a brother back in Arkansas---

who had another fighting Viet- Cong---

I'm still there---

He's all--- gone---

He had a woman, he loved, in Saigon

I got a picture of her now, at home, Child

( Chorus )

I worked down in the shadow of the Penitentiary,

I had gas bills ,I had a family

Several years further, down the road

Nowhere to run, I had nowhere to go---

Born in the USA

I was born in the USA now---

Born in the USA

I'm a long gone Daddy in a USA, now--

( Chorus )

I'm her true rocking Daddy in the USA

( Chorus )
