[00:04.76]Goodnight Saigon
[00:07.48]
[01:01.73]We met as soul mates
[01:06.42]On Parris Islands
[01:10.17]We left as inmates
[01:13.66]From an asylum
[01:17.51]And we were sharp
[01:21.23]As sharp as knives
[01:24.91]And we were so gung ho
[01:28.00]To lay down our lives
[01:30.40]
[01:32.57]We came in spastic
[01:35.78]Like tameless horses
[01:39.38]We left in plastic
[01:43.13]As numbered corpses
[01:46.97]And we learned fast
[01:50.04]To travel light
[01:54.27]Our arms were heavy
[01:56.88]But our bellies were tight
[01:59.89]
[02:12.31]We had no home front
[02:16.77]We had no soft soap
[02:20.33]They sent us Playboy
[02:24.33]They gave us Bob Hope
[02:27.92]We dug in deep
[02:31.49]And shot on sight
[02:35.34]And prayed to Jesus Christ
[02:37.97]With all of our might
[02:40.79]
[02:43.33]We had no cameras
[02:46.37]To shoot the landscape
[02:50.20]We passed the hash pipe
[02:53.92]And played our Doors tapes
[02:57.70]And it was dark
[03:01.54]So dark at night
[03:03.76]
[03:05.16]And we held on to each other
[03:08.34]Like brother to brother
[03:13.49]We promised our mothers we'd write
[03:20.70]And we would all go down together
[03:27.04]We said we's all go down together
[03:34.02]Yes we would all go down together
[03:39.71]
[03:51.25]Remember Charlie
[03:55.91]Remember Baker
[03:59.77]They left their childhood
[04:03.17]On every acre
[04:06.86]And who was wrong?
[04:10.70]And who was right?
[04:14.24]It didn't matter in the thick
[04:18.31]Of the fight
[04:20.10]
[04:27.15]We held the day
[04:33.23]In the palm
[04:36.87]Of our hand
[04:41.80]They ruled the night
[04:47.75]And the night
[04:51.65]Seemed to last as long as
[04:56.24]Six weeks on Parris Islands
[05:01.09]
[05:02.27]We held the coastline
[05:05.52]They held the highlands
[05:09.36]And they were sharp
[05:12.53]As sharp as knives
[05:16.53]They heard the hum of our motors
[05:20.71]They counted the rotors
[05:24.56]And waited for us to arrive
[05:29.10]
[05:31.44]And we would all go down together
[05:38.07]We said we'd all go down together
[05:45.22]Yes we would all go down together
[05:51.07]
[05:54.57]
[05:58.30]

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