Lyrics
SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
GOT A KNOCK AT MY DOOR
A RECRUITER STANDING THERE WAS SAYING
LET’S GO FIGHT A WAR
I WAS YOUNG JUST OUT OF SCHOOL
GETTING READY TO BE A MAN
BUT THERE WAS THIS GOD FORSAKEN WAR
IN A PLACE CALLED VIETNAM
IT SEEMS LIKE
ONLY YESTERDAY
HAD TO GO FOR GOD AND COUNTRY
FOR THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE
STAYED TRUE TO MY DECISION
TO PROTECT THE LIKES OF YOU
FOR THE GOOD OLE
RED, WHITE & BLUE
MANY YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE
AND NOW WE’RE OLD AND GREY
WE DID WHAT WE WERE ASKED TO DO
SAID YES AND THEN AND WE’D PRAY
E MOTIONS RUNNING RAW
THEY WERE CUTTING LIKE A KNIFE
THOUGHT A BOUT OUR GOING HOME
TO OUR KIDS AND TO OUR WIFE
IT SEEMS
LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE...................
SOME FEELINGS WERE UPSETTING
SOME HAD OPENED UP OUR EYES
BUT WE SACRIFICED BODIES
IN THE WAKE OF ALL THEIR LIES
MORTARS, MINES AND BULLETS
THINKING ‘BOUT OUR KIDS AND WIVES
WHILE SOME WENT HOME AS CRIPPLES
AND SOME OTHER’S GAVE THEIR LIVES
