Still in Saigon ........ Charlie Daniels Band


....got on a plane in Frisco and got off in Vietnam
....walked into a different world the past were ever 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, 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
Cause 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 with sweat
My younger brother called me a killer and my daddy called me a vet
Everybody says 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'd smell the jungle...I hear the planes
I can't tell no one...I feel ashamed...I pray someday I'll go insane...
That's been ten long years ago...and time has gone on by
But now and then I catch myself...eyes searching through the sky...
all the sounds of long ago ...be forever in my head...
mingled with the wounded cries and the silence of the dead...
cause I'm still in Saigon....still in Saigon....I'm 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


.....still in Saigon........
STILL  IN  SAIGON
