Usa Lyrics

When I was young, I watched the cars

When I was older, I drank in bars

When I was young, well, I chewed the leaves

When I was older, I drank with thieves

I found a love, she gave me dreams

She left me drunk in New Orleans

So cold and lonely, so all alone

I wished my heart was made of stone

I took the cold bright needle

I used it as a sword

My eyes have seen the glory of

The coming of the Lord

I burned across the Delta

I swam across the Ford

My eyes have seen the glory of

The coming of the Lord

When I was a young man, standing on this road

My empty belly, an aching hole

An old man said to me, "Kid don't you know?"

That it's the same wherever you go

I gambled in two graveyards

I won against the odds

With the saints and with the saviors

With the maggots and the Gods

I cursed the things they showed me

I could never see again

And the howling of the wind at night

I wrote upon the rain

I found the thing for which I prayed

And came back home to the USA

With a heart of stone, so now I know

That it's the same wherever you go

Wherever you go

Wherever you go

Wherever you go

Wherever you go

Come, come here we come

Come, come here we come

Come, come here we come
