To 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
(Play Intro Again)
Never seen nothing but that mid texas dirt
Never been on a flyin' machine
Your job now is to take this gun
and kill everything that you see
Its a long way home
Its a long, long, long, long way home
(Play intro)
Orange in the air and fire on the ground
Man them back up boys aint nowhere around
And theres smoke in the sky and screamin to the sea
oh God have mercy on me
(Chorus)
Got that medal on your chest
Now ya got it made
But you're going back to the land of protest
and an empty heros parade
(no chords here, just bass and drums)
and blazin red turret guns
(Chorus)
