I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog

In that crazy place called Washington DC

I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about VietNam

So I went over to see what was goin' on

It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people

Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to send

The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen

I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives

My friends over there who're givin' their lives

He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min

I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam

Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right

I though I'd better move before I got in a fight

Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick

Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read

Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead

It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick

Another held the sign that said we won't fight

I thought to myself boy ain't that right

To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead

I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land

Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead

Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger

Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found

To cool myself off and pacify my brain

You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon

Had about an hour to catch myself a plane

So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna crawl

  • Arms Of A Satisfied Woman
    "Arms that are thrilling reach out for me eager and easy to know
    Arms that could hold me and tell me a lie warm arms that love then let go

  • Artificial Rose
    "The little waitress wore an artificial rose I met her in a truckstop long ago

  • At The Junction
    "It's just a small cafe I'm here most everyday at the junction of heartbreak road
    I guess it's very clear it's you that put me here at the junction of heartbreak road
    At the junction where losers and weepers meet and if you'd never been there before
    They say if you stay at that junction long enough..."
  • Back In Circulation
    "Got my heart patched up my goodnight sleep and my dancin' slippers on
    I'm diggin' up where I left off when lovin' you went wrong

    Gonna hit those moonlit lanes again I'm back in circulation..."
