Born down in a dead man's town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
E
End up like a dog that's been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up, now

Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now

Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand
E
Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E
I was born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery Hiring man said "Son if it was up to me"
E
Went down to see my V.A. man He said "Son, don't you understand 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., I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now

Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now
