Old Crow Medicine Show şarkı sözleri
Down In Eutaw, Alabama in 1965A young man about 21 no differentThen you or IHe's catchin' catfish and gettin' drunkBut Uncle Sam called, he called him upSent him out to VietnamThat young manGot his life turned upside downTurned his smile into a frownRobbed that king of his crownFor an ideal he didn't even know aboutHe was gamblin' at the wagonWhen that Army man showed upAnd he flashed that pen and paperAnd Ol' Flukie he signed upThere's gonna be a big time in theJungleGonna be a firefightGonna be a rumbleSend me out to VietnamI'll fight ten menI got nothin' left in the states for meI wanna see the world you seeI know that Uncle Sam needs meTo fight for an ideal I know nothinAboutOh the drop point was dusty and theDrill sergeant was loudAnd he could not see the corpses for theRagin' dust cloudGrab your duffle bags, head to theCheckpointWelcome to Vietnam boys you're inFor a hell of a fightTake it from the ones who knowThe army moves slowHurry up and wait don't sleep lateAnd learn to hate your brotherBefore you hate your foesOn patrol out in the rice fields, themChoppers flew lowGlancing for the hand signal to tell youWhere to goThen the bombs started fallinAnd they pounded his brainAnd he thought about Eutaw and whoWas to blameFor sendin' him to Vietnam
