John Varde’s Finish the Lyrics

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.  (1984)

We busted out of class, had to get away from those fools,

We learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned in school.

Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound,

I can feel my heart begin to pound,

You say you’re tired and you just want to close your eyes

and follow your dreams down.

We made a promise we swore we’d always remember.

No retreat, baby,  No Surrender  (1984)

Now you’re sad, your mama’s mad,

and you papa says he knows that I don’t have any money.

Well, tell him this is his last chance

To get his daughter in a fine romance,

‘Cause the record company, Rosie,

Just Gave me a big advance!  (1973)

I believe in the love that you gave me,

Believe in the faith that can save me,

I believe in the hope and I pray

That someday it may raise me

Above these Badlands.  (1978)

FINISH THE LYRICS: EXTRA CREDIT

I was bruised and battered, I couldn’t tell what I felt,

Was unrecognizable to myself,

I saw my reflection in a window, I didn’t know my own face,

Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin’ away

On the Streets of Philadelphia.  (1995)
