tell me some thing about the lyrics..
Might be avril lavigne 'my vietnam'
Daddy was a soldier
He taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things
That we can take advantage of
Once I fed the homeless
I´ll never forget
The look upon their faces as I
Treated them with respect
CHORUS
This is my Vietnam
I´m at war
Life keeps on dropping bombs
And I keep score
Mama was a lunatic (Yes)
She liked to push my buttons
She said I wasn´t good enough
But I guess I wasn´t trying
Never liked school that much
They tried to teach me better
But I just wasn´t hearing it
Because I thought I was already pretty clever
Repeat CHORUS (x 2)
What do you expect from me
What am I not giving you
What could I do for you
To make me okay in your eyes
Chorus: This is my vietnam
I'm at war
They keep on droppin bombs
And i keep score
i know it's not a guy, but
Travelin' Soldier by Dixie Chicks is about a soldier who went to war in Vietnam
"Travelin' Soldier"
Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me,
I'm feeling a little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
Chorus: I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile
[Chorus]
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
[Chorus x2]
