En 1956 escribí una comedia que, según yo, iba a abrirme las puertas de la fama, recibí una pequeña herencia y comencé a hacer mi casa. Creía yo que la fortuna iba a sonreírme. Estaba muy equivocado; la comedia no llegó a ser estrenada, las puertas de a fama, no sólo no se me abrieron, sino que dejé de ser un joven escritor que promete y me convertí en un desconocido; me quedé cesante, el dinero de la herencia se me fue en pitos y flautas y cuando me cambié a mi casa propia, en abril de 1957, debía sesenta mil pesos y tuve que pedir prestado para el camión de la mudanza.

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 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 Born in the U.S.A. I was 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. 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 now» 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 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 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.
Lying in your bed and on a Saturday night
You’re sweatin’ buckets and it’s not even hot
But your brain has got the message
And it’s sending it out
To every nerve and every muscle you’ve got
You’ve got so many dreams
That you don’t know where to put ‘em
So you’d better turn a few of ‘em loose
Your body’s got a feeling that it’s starting to rust
You’d better rev it up and put it to use
And I don’t know how I ever thought that I could make it all alone
When you only make it better
And it better be tonight
And we’ll fly away on those angel wings of chrome in your daddy’s car
Waiting there for you tonight
I’ll be there for you tonight
Even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And your speed
Is all you’ll ever need
All you’ll ever need to know
Darlin’, Darlin’-
You and me we’re goin’ nowhere slowly
And we’ve gotta get away from the past
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere, baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
Everybody’s goin’ nowhere slowly
They’re only fighting for the chance to be last
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere, baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
It’s so much better goin’ nowhere fast
Ah…
Stalkin’ in the shadows by the light of the moon
It’s like a prison and the night is a cell
Goin’ anywhere has gotta be heaven tonight
‘Cause stayin’ here has gotta be hell
Dyin’ in the city like a fire on the water
Let’s go runnin’ on the back of the wind
There’s gotta be some action on the face of the earth
And I’ve gotta see your face once again
And I don’t know where I ever got the bright idea that I was cool
So alone and independent
But I’m depending on you now
And you’ll always be the only thing that I just can’t be without
And I’m out for you tonight
I’m comin’ out for you tonight
Even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll (ready to roll)
Even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And your speed
Is all you’ll ever need
All you’ll ever need to know
Darlin’, Darlin’-
You and me we’re goin’ nowhere slowly
And we’ve gotta get away from the past
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere, baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
Everybody’s goin’ nowhere slowly
They’re only fighting for the chance to be last
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere, baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
It’s so much better goin’ nowhere fast
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Speed us away!
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Speed us away!
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Speed us away!
(We’re goin’ nowhere fast!)
(Ah…)
