Bruce Springsteen- "born In The Usa" Lyrics - Wrestling

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 okay put a rifle in my hands 

Send 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 said "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 the 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
