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 covering up, now
Sanderlei Silveira - 06/07/2023 - US C
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 covering up, now
[Chorus]
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A. now
[Verse 2]
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
[Chorus]
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
[Verse 3]
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”
[Verse 4]
I had a brother at Khe Sanh
Fighting off them 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A. now
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now
Født ned i en død mands by
Det første spark, jeg tog, var, da jeg ramte jorden
Du ender som en hund, der er slået for meget
Til du tilbringer halvdelen af dit liv bare på at dække op nu
[Kor]
Født i U.S.A.
Jeg blev født i U.S.A.
Jeg blev født i U.S.A.
Født i U.S.A.
[Vers 2]
Kom i en lille hjemby -marmelade
Så de lagde en rifle i min hånd
Sendte mig ud til et fremmed land
At gå og dræbe den gule mand
[Kor]
Født i U.S.A.
Jeg blev født i U.S.A.
Jeg blev født i U.S.A.
Jeg blev født i U.S.A.
[Vers 3]
Kom hjem til raffinaderiet
Ansættelse af mand siger: "Søn, hvis det var op til mig"
Gik ned for at se min V.A. mand
Han sagde: "Søn, forstår du ikke"
[Vers 4]
Jeg havde en bror på Khe Sanh
Kæmper mod dem Viet Cong
De er stadig der, han er alle væk
Han havde en kvinde, han elskede i Saigon
Jeg fik et billede af ham i hendes arme nu
[Vers 5]
Nede i skyggen af fængslet
Ud af raffinaderiets gasbrande
Jeg brænder ti år ned ad vejen
Intetsteds at løbe, er der ingen steder at gå hen
[Kor]
Født i U.S.A.
Jeg blev født i U.S.A.
Født i U.S.A.
Jeg er en længe væk far i U.S.A. nu
Født i U.S.A.
Født i U.S.A.
Født i U.S.A.
Jeg er en cool rockende far i U.S.A. nu
