Still In Saigon — текст песни (Charlie Daniels Band)

`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!
