Got on a plane in
Frisco and got
off in Vietnam
I walked into a
different world the
past forever gone
I could have 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'd kneel
down and pray
and the next I'd
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
Cuz I'm 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
in sweat
My younger brother
calls me a killer
and my Daddy
calls me a vet
Everybody says
I'm someone else
and 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 still
in Saigon
still in Saigon
I am still
in Saigon
in my mind
Every summer
when it rains
I smell the jungle
I hear the planes
I can't tell no one
I feel ashamed
afraid some day
I'll go insane
That's been ten
long years ago
and time has
gone on by
Now and then
I catch myself
eyes searching
through the sky
All the sounds of
long ago
will be forever
in my head
Mingled with the
wounded cries
and the silence
of the dead
Cuz I'm still
in Saigon
still in Saigon
I am still
in Saigon
in my mind
I am still
in Saigon
I am still
in Saigon
Yes I'm still
in Saigon
in my mind
Still in Saigon
