Lyrics for Born In the U.S.A. - Live at the Walter Kerr Theatre, New York, NY - July 2018

Born down in a dead man's town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground End up like a dog that's been beat too much 'Til you spend half your life just to cover it up now Born in the USA I was born in the USA I was born in the USA Born in the USA now Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hands Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man Born in the USA I was born in the USA I was born in the USA I was 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 VA man He said, "Son, don't you understand now?" (Ok) (No, no) (No, no, no) I had a brother at Khe Sanh Fighting off all 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 USA I was born in the USA now Born in the USA I'm a long gone Daddy in the USA now Born in the USA Born in the USA Born in the USA I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the USA now (Oh, no) (Oh, no, no, no) (Oh, no, no) (Oh, no, no, no) Hey (Oh, no, no) Woo
