Released: September 16, 2014

Featuring: Amanda Shires Jason Isbell

Songwriter: Bruce Springsteen

Producer: Dave Cobb

Born down in a dead man's town
First kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Then you spend half your life just trying to cover up

Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA

Got in a little hometown jam
Ao they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
Go and kill the yellow man

I was born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA

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"

Had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there and he's all gone

He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms

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
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA
