Goodnight Saigon - Billy Joel[00:00:01]
We met as soul mates[00:00:44]
On Parris Islands[00:00:50]
We left as inmates[00:00:54]
From an asylum[00:00:58]
And we were sharp[00:01:02]
As sharp as knives[00:01:06]
And we were so gung ho[00:01:10]
To lay down our lives[00:01:14]
We came in spastic[00:01:19]
Like tameless horses[00:01:23]
We left in plastic[00:01:27]
As numbered corpses[00:01:31]
And we learned fast[00:01:35]
To travel light[00:01:39]
Our arms were heavy[00:01:43]
But our bellies were tight[00:01:46]
We had no home front[00:02:02]
We had no soft soap[00:02:08]
They sent us Playboy[00:02:12]
They gave us Bob Hope[00:02:16]
We dug in deep[00:02:20]
And shot on sight[00:02:25]
And prayed to Jesus Christ[00:02:29]
With all of our might[00:02:32]
We had no cameras[00:02:37]
To shoot the landscape[00:02:41]
We passed the hash pipe[00:02:45]
And played our Doors tapes[00:02:49]
And it was dark[00:02:53]
So dark at night[00:02:56]
And we held on to each other[00:03:00]
Like brother to brother[00:03:05]
We promised our mothers we'd write[00:03:09]
And we would all go down together[00:03:16]
We said we's all go down together[00:03:24]
Yes we would all go down together[00:03:31]
Remember Charlie[00:03:49]
Remember Baker[00:03:54]
They left their childhood[00:03:58]
On every acre[00:04:01]
And who was wrong [00:04:05]
And who was right [00:04:09]
It didn't matter in the thick[00:04:13]
Of the fight[00:04:17]
We held the day[00:04:26]
In the palm[00:04:33]
Of our hand[00:04:37]
They ruled the night[00:04:42]
And the night[00:04:49]
Seemed to last as long as[00:04:52]
Six weeks on Parris Islands[00:04:58]
We held the coastline[00:05:04]
They held the highlands[00:05:07]
And they were sharp[00:05:11]
As sharp as knives[00:05:15]
They heard the hum of our motors[00:05:19]
They counted the rotors[00:05:23]
And waited for us to arrive[00:05:27]
And we would all go down together[00:05:34]
We said we'd all go down together[00:05:41]
Yes we would all go down together[00:05:48]
