Born In The USA

Born In The USA - Skeggs

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 coverin' up

Born in the U.S.A

Got in a little hometown jam

So they put a rifle in my hand

Sent me off to a foreign land

To go and k**l the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A

Born in the U.S.A

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

I had a brother at Khe Sanh 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

Born in the U.S.A

Born in the U.S.A

Born in the U.S.A

Born in the U.S.A

Born in the U.S.A
