Goodnight Saigon - Billy Joel

[07:02.0]We met as soul mates
[07:02.0]On Parris Islands
[07:02.0]We left as inmates
[07:02.0]From an asylum
[07:02.0]And we were sharp
[07:02.0]As sharp as knives
[07:02.0]And we were so gung ho
[07:02.0]To lay down our lives
[07:02.0]We came in spastic
[07:02.0]Like tameless horses
[07:02.0]We left in plastic
[07:02.0]As numbered corpses
[07:02.0]And we learned fast
[07:02.0]To travel light
[07:02.0]Our arms were heavy
[07:02.0]But our bellies were tight
[07:02.0]We had no home front
[07:02.0]We had no soft soap
[07:02.0]They sent us Playboy
[07:02.0]They gave us Bob Hope
[07:02.0]We dug in deep
[07:02.0]And shot on sight
[07:02.0]And prayed to Jesus Christ
[07:02.0]With all of our might
[07:02.0]We had no cameras
[07:02.0]To shoot the landscape
[07:02.0]We passed the hash pipe
[07:02.0]And played our Doors tapes
[07:02.0]And it was dark
[07:02.0]So dark at night
[07:02.0]And we held on to each other
[07:02.0]Like brother to brother
[07:02.0]We promised our mothers we'd write
[07:02.0]And we would all go down together
[07:02.0]We said we's all go down together
[07:02.0]Yes we would all go down together
[07:02.0]Remember Charlie
[07:02.0]Remember Baker
[07:02.0]They left their childhood
[07:02.0]On every acre
[07:02.0]And who was wrong
[07:02.0]And who was right
[07:02.0]It didn't matter in the thick
[07:02.0]Of the fight
[07:02.0]We held the day
[07:02.0]In the palm
[07:02.0]Of our hand
[07:02.0]They ruled the night
[07:02.0]And the night
[07:02.0]Seemed to last as long as
[07:02.0]Six weeks on Parris Islands
[07:02.0]We held the coastline
[07:02.0]They held the highlands
[07:02.0]And they were sharp
[07:02.0]As sharp as knives
[07:02.0]They heard the hum of our motors
[07:02.0]They counted the rotors
[07:02.0]And waited for us to arrive
[07:02.0]And we would all go down together
[07:02.0]We said we'd all go down together
[07:02.0]Yes we would all go down together
