Vietnam

(专辑： Life Of A Rolling Stone - 2020)

Took him off with the draft
He was barely eighteen and a half
I can still remember those days

Well I remember the day that he came home
In a wooden box and a flag
Yeah man that 21 gun salute rang out that Saturday

Well I remember going through his things
When they dropped him off
Well I was flipping through a notebook and this is what I saw

And it read
Oh it's day 23
With the Vietcongs out surrounding our company
So I'll say a prayer and keep my gun close to me
Hey I'm just fighting for my rights and Uncle Sam
Over here in Vietnam

At the bottom of the page it was signed C.J. McHarley
The man who had been my brother for six years
Yeah I bet he was so afraid

Well I remember going through his things
When they dropped him off
Well I was flipping through a notebook and this is what I saw

And it read
Oh it's day 43
With the Vietcongs out surrounding our company
So I'll say a prayer and keep my gun close to me
I'm just fighting for my rights and Uncle Sam
If you're reading this you know right where I am
I'm home from Vietnam
I'm home from Vietnam

Oh I remember the day that he came home
A wooden box and a flag
Yeah man that 21 gun salute rang out that Saturday

I'm just fighting for my rights and Uncle Sam
If you're reading this you know right where I am
I'm home from Vietnam
