Too scared to go to proud to run
|
Here’s your orders boy here’s your gun
|
We’re sending you off to Vietnam
|
Try to stay cool try to stay calm
|
|
Never seen nothin’ but that Mid-Texas dirt
|
Never been on a flying machine
|
Your job now is to take this gun
|
And kill everything that you see
|
|
It’s a long way home
|
|
Orange in the air
|
Fire on the ground
|
Them back up boys ain’t no where around
|
There’s smoke in the sky
|
You’re screamin’ to the sea
|
Oh God have mercy on me
|
|
It’s a long way home
|
|
Got that medal on your chest
|
Now you got it made
|
But you’re going back to a land of protest
|
And an empty hero’s parade
|
|
Waking up in the dead of night
|
Screaming out your lungs
|
Jungle fires and trip bomb wires
|
And blazin’ red turret guns
|
|
It’s a long way home
|
