The first kick I took was when I hit the ground







End up like a dog that's been beat too much








Till you spend half your life just covering up
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.










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









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









Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "son, don't you understand"
