VIETNAM POST-TRAUMATIC BLUES

 

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, I'm gonna sing my song

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, gonna sing my song

If you've got the post-traumatic blues, you can sing along

 

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, and I get around

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, I really get around

No matter how I try, I just can't settle down

 

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, and it don't seem fair

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, no, it don't seem fair

I've had sleepless nights, more than I can bear

 

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, and I don't know why

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, and I don't know why

One thing I do know, I made a good woman cry

 

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, everywhere I go

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, everywhere I go

Don't ask me was it worth it, I'll tell you I don't know

 

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, but it's not so bad

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, no, it's not so bad

There's been some adventures, I'm mighty glad I had

 

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, but don't you cry for me

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, don't you cry for me

I've seen a lot of things that you will never see

 

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, now you've heard my song

I've got the Vietnam post-traumatic blues, now you've heard my song

It's over now, time to move along
