VIETNAM - alt
The runway rushed up at me, I felt the wheels hit down
I stood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into town
Got off down on Main Street, to see what I could see
All I seen was strangers, watchin' a stranger pass by
And no-one was stranger than me (And that stranger was me)
Vietnam, Vietnam, oh-no man
Vietnam
Went to see my baby, down on First and Grand
To tell her I'd come home from away in Vietnam
Her mama came to the door and told me.
Her mama told me she ran away
With a singer in a rock 'n' roll band
She said, "I'm sorry son, but we understand."
You died in Vietnam, you died in Vietnam
Now don't you understand, you died in Vietnam
