Bruce Springsteen Vietnam Lyrics

Vietnam lyrics

The runway rushed up at me, I felt the wheels touch down

Stood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into town

Got off down on Main Street, to see what I recognized

All I seen was strange faces, watching a stranger passin' by



Vietnam, Vietnam, I don't man

Back in Vietnam



Went for my job back at the factory, down at the factory

The only thing I heard from the man at the desk

Is, "Son, understand if it was up to me"

'bout half the town's out of work

Ain't nothin' for you here

From the assembly line to the front-line

But I guess you didn't hear"



You died in Vietnam, you died in Vietnam

Now don't you understand, you died in Vietnam



Drive down my neighborhood

See the flags out on the porch

So I went to see my old baby

Down at First and Grand

Her mama told me she ran off

With a singer in a rock 'n' roll band

????

I can see me passin' by



You died in Vietnam, you died in Vietnam

Boy, don't you understand, you died in Vietnam



The runway rushed up at me, I felt the wheels hit down

I stood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into town

Got off down on Main Street, to see what I could see

All I seen was strangers, watchin' a stranger pass by

And that stranger was me



Vietnam, Vietnam, oh-no man

Vietnam



Went to see my baby, down on First and Grand

To tell her I'd come home from away in Vietnam

Her mama came to the door and told me

Her mama told me she ran away

With a singer in a rock 'n' roll band

She said, "I'm sorry son, but we understand"



You died in Vietnam, you died in Vietnam

Now don't you understand, you died in Vietnam
