Lyrics:

Well I’m a bush hog scratchin’ for a rat underground
In the jungle of the valley Ashar
I gave him eighteen rounds but he didn’t go down
I’m dealin’ with the devil again
I turned
19 in Vietnam
19 in Vietnam

Well we started out thinkin’ We were some kind of heroes Fightin’ just like our daddies did
But now the gung ho crew is very few And the rest are just frightened kids Who turned
19 in Vietnam
19 in Vietnam

CD
And wondrin’ why…
You spend a year in hell feelin’ so alone
Seein’ more than a kid can bear
Countin’ the days ‘til they ship you home
But there ain’t no welcome there
When you’re
19 in Vietnam
19 in Vietnam

And wondrin’ why…
