Bruce Springsteen - Vietnam Lyrics
The runway rushed up at me, I felt the wheels touch downStood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into townGot off down on Main Street, to see what I recognizedAll I seen was strange faces, watching a stranger passin' byVietnam, Vietnam, I don't manBack in VietnamWent for my job back at the factory, down at the factoryThe only thing I heard from the man at the deskIs, "Son, understand if it was up to me"'bout half the town's out of workAin't nothin' for you hereFrom the assembly line to the front-lineBut I guess you didn't hear"You died in Vietnam, you died in VietnamNow don't you understand, you died in VietnamDrive down my neighborhoodSee the flags out on the porchSo I went to see my old babyDown at First and GrandHer mama told me she ran offWith a singer in a rock 'n' roll band????I can see me passin' byYou died in Vietnam, you died in VietnamBoy, don't you understand, you died in VietnamThe runway rushed up at me, I felt the wheels hit downI stood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into townGot off down on Main Street, to see what I could seeAll I seen was strangers, watchin' a stranger pass byAnd that stranger was meVietnam, Vietnam, oh-no manVietnamWent to see my baby, down on First and GrandTo tell her I'd come home from away in VietnamHer mama came to the door and told meHer mama told me she ran awayWith a singer in a rock 'n' roll bandShe said, "I'm sorry son, but we understand"You died in Vietnam, you died in VietnamNow don't you understand, you died in Vietnam
