Born down in a dead man's town-- Detroit

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

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

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"

I had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong

They're still there, he's all gone

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

He had a woman he loved in Saigon

I got a picture of him in her arms now

“Bruce Springsteen

may have been born

to run, but he wasn’t

born yesterday.”

Springsteen’s

Library

From the shotgun shack to the SuperdomeWe yelled "help" but the cavalry

stayed home

There ain't no-one hearing the

bugle blown

We take care of our own
