Sittin' down here thinkin', I don't wanna go to Vietnam
I'm sittin' down here thinkin', I don't wanna go to Vietnam
I have all these troubles at home, I don't wanna go to Vietnam
I read the news every day, I read about Vietnam
I read the news every day, I read about Vietnam
I got so much friends in Vietnam, I might not never see them no more
Sittin' here thinkin', I don't wanna go to Vietnam
Sittin' here thinkin' thinkin', thinkin', I don't wanna go to Vietnam
You men in the street have so much trouble of their own, why they wanna fight in Vietnam
Have mercy
Lord have mercy, don't let me go to Vietnam
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, don't let me go to Vietnam
I have my wife and my family, I don't wanna go to Vietnam
We got so much trouble at home, we don't need to go to Vietnam
Yeah yeah, there's a whole lot of trouble right here at home, don't need to go to Vietnam
We outta stay at home, stay out of trouble
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
Vietnam
