Born down in a dead man town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You 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... 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
I had a brother at Khe Sahn Fighting off 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 aint got nowhere to go
Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a. Born in the u.s.a., I'm a long gone daddy in the u.s.a.

Springsteen wrote this about the problems Vietnam veterans encountered when they returned to America. Vietnam was the first war the US didn't win, and while veterans of other wars received a hero's welcome, those who fought in Vietnam were mostly ignored when they returned to the states. (songfacts)
