Apocalypse Now&4evr Lyrics

Shipped out back in sixty-six

Feet first off a ship, face first in the shit

Shakin' hands with the devil out deep in the sticks

May live long enough to go to hell homesick

I'm homesick

If ever there was a way to go, it's out here in the heep where we reap what we sow

If ever there was a way to go, it's home to the misses for kisses and blow

Woah

Old man's game, young wife's pain, roll the dice on the board and we all die in vain

I haven't had a goodnight's sleep in a decade

And everynight I drink a whole bottle of whiskey

Vietnam was not good to me and now I'm not the kid I used to be

I remember all of the rain and the flood of mud and blood and pain

Purple heart, tragedy from the start. Not a single friend left to even grow apart

Peach fuzz was all we could grow. So young and stressed out to kill another child

If only we'd known all it would cost. All the lives they'd spend just to justify their jobs

Gray-haired shame, young man's bane. Everafter is a stretch if we die on the plains

If never there was a way to go it's face down in a trench and the stench of a crow

If never there was a way to go it's fourth of July with the fire in the sky

I love the smell of napalm in the morning, son

Dig your foxholes so deep that you can't see the sun

I haven't had a goodnight's sleep in a decade

And everynight I drink a whole bottle of whiskey

Vietnam was not good to me and now I'm not the kid I used to be

I haven't had a goodnight's sleep in a decade

And everynight I drink a whole bottle of whiskey

Vietnam was not good to me and now I'm not the kid I used to be
