Still In Saigon

Lyrics

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
