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