Still in Saigon testo

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
