colby acuff - vietnam lyrics
[verse 1]
took him off with the draft
he was barely eighteen and a half
i can still remember those days
well i remember the day that he came home
in a wooden box and a flag
yeah man that 21 gun salute rang out that sat+rday
[pre+chorus]
well i remember going through his things
when they dropped him off
well i was flipping through a notebook and this is what i saw
[chorus]
and it read
oh it’s day 23
with the vietcongs out surrounding our company
so i’ll say a prayer and keep my gun close to me
hey i’m just fighting for my rights and uncle sam
over here in vietnam
[verse 2]
at the bottom of the page it was signed c.j. mcharley
the man who had been my brother for six years
yeah i bet he was so afraid
[pre+chorus]
well i remember going through his things
when they dropped him off
well i was flipping through a notebook and this is what i saw
[chorus]
and it read
oh it’s day 43
with the vietcongs out surrounding our company
so i’ll say a prayer and keep my gun close to me
i’m just fighting for my rights and uncle sam
if you’re reading this you know right where i am
i’m home from vietnam
i’m home from vietnam
[verse 3]
oh i remember the day that he came home
a wooden box and a flag
yeah man that 21 gun salute rang out that sat+rday
[outro]
i’m just fighting for my rights and uncle sam
if you’re reading this you know right where i am
i’m home from vietnam
