歌詞
[Verse 1]
Down in Eutaw, Alabama in 1965
A young man 'bout 21
No different than you or I
He's catchin' catfish
And gettin' drunk
But Uncle Sam called
He called him up
Sent him out to Vietnam
[Verse 2]
That young man
Got his life turned upside down
Turned his smile into a frown
Robbed that king of his crown
For an ideal he didn't even know about
[Verse 3]
He was gamblin' at the wagon
When that army man showed up
And he flashed that pen and paper
And Old Flukie, he signed up
There's gonna be a big time in the jungle
Gonna be a firefight
Gonna be a rumble
Send me out to Vietnam
[Verse 4]
I'll fight ten men
I got nothing left in the States for me
I wanna see the world, you see
I know that Uncle Sam needs me
To fight for an ideal I know nothing about
[Verse 5]
Oh, the drop point was dusty
And the drill sergeant was loud
And he could not see the corpses
For the ragin' dust cloud
Grab your duffle bags
Head to the checkpoint
Welcome to Vietnam, boys
You're in for a hell of a fight
Take it from the ones who know
[Verse 6]
The army moves slow
Hurry up and wait, and don't sleep late
And learn to hate your brother
Before you hate your foe
[Verse 7]
On patrol out in the rice fields
Them choppers flew low
Glancin' up for the hand signal
To tell you where to go
Then the bombs started fallin'
And the pounded his brain
And he thought about Eutaw
And who was to blame
For sendin' him to Vietnam
