Too Young For Vietnam Lyrics

We said goodbye and wished you well, in your pressed uniform

You shipped off to a place called Vietnam

When you came home, they said you had battle fatigue

But it looked like a whole lot more to me

You never got a welcome home parade

In-fact the opposite of that was true

Seems we never did, what is right by you

We have no excuses for what we did or didn't do

Wish there was something more I could do.

I was too young for Vietnam

But old enough to know I didn't want to go

You came back in pieces, and you did not give a damn

And I was too young for Vietnam

Yeah I was too young for Vietnam

Those who spoke of peace and love, did not show you either

They welcomed you home, to a spit in your face

High school had me captured, when the war was going on

But I knew that you did not deserve that disgrace

We all have scars, from what we went though

Yours were cut deep into your soul

I hope as years went by, that they brought some healing

I pray that every day for you

Wish there was something more I could do

I was too young for Vietnam

But old enough to know I didn't want to go

You came back in pieces, and you did not give a damn

And I was too young for Vietnam

Yeah I was too young for Vietnam

Yeah I was too young for Vietnam
