Thanks for setting the record straight! - 7/5/2012 8:18:50 PM
My family has a 4th tradition. We wake up at the crack of dawn & drive 2 hours to Mt. St Helens to hike the Ape Caves. The caves are just one long underground lava tube that is broken into 2 sections. The lower half is easy, the upper half hard. The first year I cried when we finally made it out. I was physically & mentally worn out. Happy to say this year was the best. I can feel my body is stronger and mentally I am up for any & all challenges.

YUP, I just looked up the lyrics. It is NOT a patriotic song.
Born in the U.S.A...

Born down in a dead man 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
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.
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 aint got nowhere to go
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. - 7/4/2012 11:24:47 AM
Citizen/Soldier by 3 Doors Down is one of my favorite workout songs. - 7/4/2012 9:43:39 AM
