about

Independence Day 2015

lyrics

Born in a dead man's town
The first kick 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 to cover it up

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
Someplace they called Afghanistan

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says, "Son if it was up to me"
Soo I went down to see my V.A. man
He just said, "Son, don't you understand"

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Lit by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years running down the road
Got, nowhere to run, 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. now

Born in the U.S.A
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A
I grew up, I'm gonna die here in the U.S.A.
