Born in the USA- Bruce Springsteen- 1984 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 coverin' up [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 [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 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 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 nowVerse 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 Born in the U.S.A I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A 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

“God Bless the USA”- Lee Greenwood 1984 If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life And I had to start again with just my children and my wife I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA Well, there's pride in every American heart And it's time we stand and say

That I'm proud to be an American /where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died, / who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you / and defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA And I'm proud to be an American / where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died, /who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you /and defend her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
