| [00:16.50] |
Born down in a dead man's town |
| [00:19.50] |
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground |
| [00:23.50] |
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much |
| [00:27.50] |
Till you spend half your life just covering up |
| [00:32.50][00:44.50][01:04.50][01:11.50][02:38.50][02:46.50][02:54.50][02:57.50][03:01.50] |
Born in the U.S.A. |
| [00:35.50][00:39.50][01:07.50][01:15.50][02:41.50] |
I was born in the U.S.A. |
| [00:48.50] |
Got in a little hometown jam |
| [00:52.50] |
So they put a rifle in my hand |
| [00:56.50] |
Sent me off to a foreign land |
| [00:59.50] |
To go and kill the yellow man |
| [01:19.50] |
Come back home to the refinery |
| [01:22.50] |
Hiring man said "Son if it was up to me" |
| [01:27.50] |
Went down to see my V.A. man |
| [01:30.50] |
He said "Son, don't you understand" |
| [01:50.50] |
I had a brother at Khe Sahn |
| [01:54.50] |
Fighting off the Viet Cong |
| [01:58.50] |
They're still there, he's all gone |
| [02:06.50] |
He had a woman he loved in Saigon |
| [02:10.50] |
I got a picture of him in her arms now |
| [02:21.50] |
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary |
| [02:25.50] |
Out by the gas fires of the refinery |
| [02:29.50] |
I'm ten years burning down the road |
| [02:33.50] |
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go |
| [02:48.50] |
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. |
| [03:04.50] |
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now |
