4. AFSOUTH wrote: And the evergreen foliage abounds. Water trickles down the vines, onto the bloody grounds. The Booby traps are hidden well. The ambushes set just right. Another day we live in hell, Awaiting a deadly night. We've changed inside, we're not the same. |

6. AFSOUTH wrote: Many good friends have died. Folks at home hold us to blame. They've taken the other side. |
7. AFSOUTH wrote: We didn't come here to be cruel, We try to do what's right. When hate and terror are at rule, It's time to stand and fight. |
8. AFSOUTH wrote: In the Nam we're all abused, Our officials have lost their way. The nation we love is now confused, And more friends are dying today. |
9. AFSOUTH wrote: As giant teak trees reach the skies, The heat is frying our brains. The blood on the ground as another one dies, Will soon wash away in the rains. |
10. AFSOUTH wrote: We pray someday the wounds will heal, And the pain will all go away. If we make it perhaps we'll feel, The hopes of a much better day. |
11. AFSOUTH wrote: But getting home is a long lost dream, The future is not looking bright. As dusk descends we're all feeling mean, The enemy's coming tonight. |
