 Still in Saigon
 (Dan Daley)
 As Performed by the Charlie Daniels Band (1981)
 Got on a plane in 'Frisco and got off in Vietnam
 I walked into a different world, the past forever gone
 I could've gone to Canada or I could have stayed in school
 But I was brought up differently -- I couldn't break the rules
 
 Thirteen months and fifteen days -- the last ones were the worst
 One minute I kneel down and pray and the next I stand and curse
 No place to run to where I did not feel that war
 When I got home I stayed alone and checked behind each door
 'Cause I'm...
 
 CHORUS:
 Still in Saigon,
 Still in Saigon
 I am still in Saigon
 In my mind
 
 The ground at home was covered in snow and I was covered with sweat
 My younger brother calls me a killer and my daddy calls me a vet
 Everybody says I'm someone else, that I'm sick and there's no cure
 Damned if I know who I am -- there was only one place I was sure
 When I was...
 
 CHORUS
 
 Every summer when it rains,
 I smell the jungle, I hear the flames
 I can't tell no one -- I feel ashamed
 Afraid someday I'll go insane
 
 That's been ten long years ago and time has gone on by
 But now and then I catch myself, eyes searching through the sky
 All the sounds from long ago will be forever in my head
 Mingled with the wounded cries and the silence of the dead.
 'Cause I'm...
 
 CHORUS
