Lyrics The Boy I Left Behind - John Parr

The Boy I Left Behind

Sixty four
Every pretty girl was knockin' at your door
Do you remember
Do you remember
My baby on the open road
Elvis on the radio
Do you remember
Do you remember
I remember the day my papers came
Son you’re goin' to Vietnam
Time to chase the boy away
Time to be a man
For you
The boy I left behind
For you
A thousand tears these eyes have cried
Sometimes it’s like a memory
Sometimes it’s just a dream
I’m staring' in the mirror
I don’t recognize who I see
For you
The boy I left behind
For you
For you
Drive-in movie picture shows
Skinny dipping' rock n' roll
Do you remember
Do you remember
Parked down at Inspiration Point
We shared our dreams
And shared a joint
Do you remember
Do you remember
I dream of me and Mary
Makin' sweet love on the sand
Then a voice comes on the radio
Said good mornin' Vietnam
