'Got on a plane in Fresco 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 kneel down and pray And the next I 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.
|
|
Still in Saigon....Still in Saigon
|
I am Still in Saigon in my mind!
|
|
The ground at home was covered with snow. And I was covered in sweat.
|
My younger brother calls me a killer and My daddy calls me a vet.
|
Everybody says that I'm someone else That 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 someday I'll go insane.
|
|
****RIDE***
|
That's been ten long years ago and time has gone on by.
|
But now and then I catch myself...Eyes searchin through the sky.
|
All the sounds of long ago will be forever in my head.
|
Mingled with the wounded's cries and the silence of the dead...
|
|
Cause I'm
|
Still in Saigon...Still in Saigon
|
I am still in Saigon....in my mind!
