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

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 said 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

He had a woman he loved in saigon

I got a picture of him in her arms now

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

Nowhere to run ain’t got nowhere to go
