lirik lagu tommy cash (usa) - forgotten man
[verse 1]
they came forward from the fields of nebraska
they were drafted off the streets of new orleans
they were called from shore to shore like their fathers were before
sent to fight a conflict overseas
from the boy who joined the navy up in denver
long before he’s old enough to shave
they put away their dreams of the futurе
they woke up in the midst of cam ranh bay
[chorus]
hеre’s to you, forgotten man, here’s to men of vietnam
here’s to men who gave a d~mn and saw their duty through
when we put our guns away, they came home without parades
i hope it’s not too late to say we’ve not forgotten you
[verse 2]
now, saigon took the boy out of the soldier
the agent orange was burning up the land
in six months time, he was ten years older
but too d~mn scared to really understand
warships and airplanes crossed the ocean
the fighting spread through asia like a storm
when the diplomats in paris signed a treaty, it was over
the folks back home were tired of the war
[verse 4]
coming home was not what they expected
our country was divided over pride
the war was out of style, they found it hard to smile
their only chance of victory denied
instead of open arms, we gave them counselors
and we feared them for the things that they had seen
all across the land, the vets of vietnam
still fight that war in their dreams
[chorus]
here’s to you, forgotten man, here’s to men of vietnam
here’s to men who gave a d~mn and saw their duty through
when we put our guns away, they came home without parades
i hope it’s not too late to say we’ve not forgotten you
[outro chorus]
here’s to you, forgotten man, here’s to men of vietnam
here’s to men who gave a d~mn and saw their duty through
when we put our guns away, they came home without parades
i hope it’s not too late to say we’ve not forgotten you
[outro]
from one ol’ country boy who loves his country
thank you, guys, thank you very much
