|
Got on a plane in ' |
|
Frisco And got off in |
|
Vietnam I walked into a different world |
|
The past forever gone |
|
I could have gone to |
|
Canada Or |
|
I could have stayed in school |
|
But I was brought up differently |
|
I couldn't break the rules |
|
Thirteen months and fifteen days |
|
The last ones were the worst |
|
One minute |
|
I'd kneel down and pray |
|
And the next |
|
I'd stand and curse |
|
No place to run to |
|
Where I did not feel that war |
|
When I got home |
|
I stayed alone |
|
And checked behind each door |
|
Cuz I'm still in |
|
Saigon Still in |
|
Saigon I am still in |
|
Saigon In my mind |
|
The ground at home was covered in snow |
|
And I was covered in sweat |
|
My younger brother calls me a killer |
|
And my daddy calls me a vet |
|
Everybody says |
|
I'm someone else |
|
And I'm sick and there's no cure |
|
Damned if |
|
I know who |
|
I am There was only one place |
|
I was sure |
|
When i was still in |
|
Saigon Still in saigon |
|
I am still in saigon |
|
In my mind |
|
Every summer when it rains |
|
I smell the jungle, |
|
I hear the planes |
|
I can't tell no one, |
|
I feel ashamed |
|
Afraid some day |
|
I'll go insane |
|
That's been ten long years ago |
|
And time has gone on by |
|
Now and then |
|
I catch myself |
|
Eyes searching through the sky |
|
All the sounds of long ago |
|
Will be forever in my head |
|
Mingled with the wounded cries |
|
And the silence of the dead ' |
|
Cuz I'm still in |
|
Saigon Still in |
|
Saigon I am still in |
|
Saigon In my mind |
|
I am still in |
|
Saigon I am still in |
|
Saigon Yes, |
|
I'm still in |
|
Saigon In my mind |
