Goodnight Saigon - Billy Joel

[01:02.04]We met as soul mates
[01:07.3]On Parris Islands
[01:11.05]We left as inmates
[01:14.79]From an asylum
[01:18.44]And we were sharp
[01:22.14]As sharp as knives
[01:25.85]And we were so gung ho
[01:28.65]To lay down our lives
[01:33.240005]We came in spastic
[01:36.97]Like tameless horses
[01:40.65]We left in plastic
[01:44.29]As numbered corpses
[01:47.990005]And we learned fast
[01:51.68]To travel light
[01:55.45]Our arms were heavy
[01:57.7]But our bellies were tight
[02:12.76]We had no home front
[02:17.92]We had no soft soap
[02:21.59]They sent us Playboy
[02:25.35]They gave us Bob Hope
[02:29.01]We dug in deep
[02:32.7]And shot on sight
[02:36.45]And prayed to Jesus Christ
[02:39.25]With all of our might
[02:43.88]We had no cameras
[02:47.66]To shoot the landscape
[02:51.42]We passed the hash pipe
[02:55.11]And played our Doors tapes
[02:58.88]And it was dark
[03:02.36]So dark at night
[03:06.22]And we held on to each other
[03:15.67]Like brother to brother
[03:18.6]We promised our mothers we'd write
[03:27.06]And we would all go down together
[03:32.6]We said we's all go down together
[03:37.67]Yes we would all go down together
[03:51.95999]Remember Charlie
[03:57.1]Remember Baker
[04:00.81]They left their childhood
[04:04.46]On every acre
[04:08.17]And who was wrong
[04:13.71]And who was right
[04:15.51]It didn't matter in the thick
[04:19.57]Of the fight
[04:27.86]We held the day
[04:42.66]In the palm
[04:45.56]Of our hand
[04:46.48]They ruled the night
[04:49.02]And the night
[04:52.54]Seemed to last as long as
[04:57.14]Six weeks on Parris Islands
[05:03.25]We held the coastline
[05:06.88]They held the highlands
[05:09.19]And they were sharp
[05:14.13]As sharp as knives
[05:15.68]They heard the hum of our motors
[05:17.77]They counted the rotors
[05:25.93]And waited for us to arrive
[05:32.54]And we would all go down together
[05:39.74]We said we'd all go down together
[05:46.79]Yes we would all go down together
