《Born in the USA》的歌詞如下:
Verse 1:
I was born in the USA, land that I love
Born in the USA, raised by the man
The one who made us strong
Chorus:
Born in the USA, land of the free
Born to be wild, born to ride
Born to, born to, born to
Verse 2:
I've seen the city lights, I've seen the good times
But I've seen the pain too, you know what I mean
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus:
Born in the USA, land of the free
Born to be wild, born to ride
Born to, born to, born to
Bridge:
You know I've been everywhere, from New York to California
You know I've been everywhere, with a dream in my heart and a song in my soul
Chorus:
Born in the USA, land of the free
Born to be wild, born to ride
Born to, born to, born to die
(Just like my grandpa told me)
Born in the USA
總的來說,這首歌表達了對美國自由精神的讚美,同時也對生活的艱辛和離去有所表達。
