1967 |
In 1967, the draft caught up with me |
Me and my pal Joe went off to war |
We might find hero’s heaven |
But we’d keep the country free |
We would surely win just like before |
Roy Rogers he was on his horse |
And Buck Jones drew his gun |
We would surely win of course |
When the battle was all done |
1967, I came back alone |
They brought Joe back in plastic on the plane |
1967 seems so long ago |
But I can’t forget my friend or ease my pain |
His family may forget him |
His children may regret him |
His wife may find another |
And go on |
His picture may grow faded |
And the world he knew gone jaded |
But as long as I shall live I surely know |
I never will forget my buddy Joe |
In 1967, the war was raging on |
Our country was divided and reborn |
Though I was back at home, I had never left Saigon |
'Cause all I got was ridicule and scorn |
This was no place for hero’s now |
They all seemed to resent me |
They said, «Why did you ever go?» |
I said, «Because they sent me» |
1967, they buried my friend Joe |
And I was flashing back while people wept |
I thought of how he saved us |
And I watched the land-mine blow |
And I looked down at his dog-tag that I kept |
You’ll always be a young man |
You always will be smiling |
You always will be confident and true |
Your picture may grow faded |
And the world you knew gone jaded |
But as long as I shall live I surely know |
I never will forget my buddy Joe |
Long as I shall live I surely know |
I never will forget you buddy Joe |
