Usa Lyrics - Pogues

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 

...
