Lyrics
Vietnam
This is a story that was before my time
About a guy just trying to stay alive
It was sometime in the sixties, I don't know when
That?s when the war started up again
Everybody knew that something was wrong
When the bullets started to fly in Vietnam
His wife and kids prayed every night
That he would not have to go and fight
But then the time came, he was sent away
To a little place called Tapacom Bay
And as he left he told his family goodbye
And as a tear rolled down everyone's eyes, he said
Always remember the times that we shared
I want you to know how much I care
But if the war gets me and takes me away
Daddy will see you again someday
And later on there was a knock at the door
Said I'm sorry Mam, but he's not with us no more
My momma looked down at me and said
Daddy will see you, again
Always remember the times that we shared
I want you to know how much I care
But if the war gets me and takes me away
Daddy will see you again someday
Daddy will see you again someday
