The Boy I Left Behind

Sixty four
 Every pretty girl was knockin' at your door
 Do you remember
 Do you remember
 My baby on the open road
 Elvis on the radio
 Do you remember
 Do you remember
 I remember the day my papers came
 Son you're goin' to Vietnam
 Time to chase the boy away
 Time to be a man
 For you
 The boy I left behind
 For you
 A thousand tears these eyes have cried
 Sometimes it's like a memory
 Sometimes it's just a dream
 I'm staring' in the mirror
 I don't recognize who I see
 For you
 The boy I left behind
 For you
 For you
 Drive-in movie picture shows
 Skinny dipping' rock n' roll
 Do you remember
 Do you remember
 Parked down at Inspiration Point
 We shared our dreams
 And shared a joint
 Do you remember
 Do you remember
 I dream of me and Mary
 Makin' sweet love on the sand
 Then a voice comes on the radio
 Said good mornin' Vietnam
 For you
 The boy I left behind
 For you
 A thousand tears these eyes have cried
 Ashamed to wear this uniform
 They spat in our face
 What's the use in comin' home
 With no comin' home parade
 For you
 The boy we left behind
 We're finally comin' home
 Soldiers done our time
 Nobody there to shake our hand
 No autograph to sign
 For you
 The boys we left behind
 For you
 A thousand tears these eyes have cried
 Age shall never weary them
 Nor the years condemn
 At sunset and at daybreak
 We will remember them
 For you
 The boys we left behind
 For you
 A thousand tears these eyes have cried
 For you
 The boys we left behind
