Got on a plane in 'Frisco
And got off in Vietnam
I walked into a different 1
The past forever gone

I could have gone to Canada
Or I could have 2 in school
But I was brought up differently
I couldn't break the 3

Thirteen months and fifteen days
The last ones were the worst
One 4 I'd kneel down and pray
And the next I'd stand and curse

No place to run to
Where I did not 5 that war
When I got home I stayed alone
And checked 6 each door

Cuz I'm still in Saigon
Still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
In my mind

The 7 at home was covered in snow
And I was covered in sweat
My 8 brother calls me a killer
And my daddy calls me a vet

Everybody 9 I'm someone else
And I'm sick and there's no cure
Damned if I know who I am
There was only one place I was sure

When i was still in Saigon
Still in saigon
I am still in saigon
In my mind

Every summer when it rains
I smell the jungle, I hear the planes
I can't tell no one, I feel ashamed
Afraid some day I'll go insane

That's been ten long years ago
And time has gone on by
Now and then I catch myself
Eyes searching through the sky

All the sounds of long ago
Will be forever in my head
Mingled with the wounded cries
And the silence of the dead

'Cuz I'm still in Saigon
Still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
In my mind

I am still in Saigon
I am still in Saigon
Yes, I'm still in Saigon
In my mind
