V-1
I'm a Soldier, who returned from the war, never greeted,
I'm a Sailor, criticized, and scorned in every way.
I'm an Airman, still fighting Agent Orange, still believing,
The bad dreams I've been having will one-day go away.
I'm a Marine, as a young man fought in that hot jungle.
I'm Coast Guard, hoping for some help from the V.A.
At the sound of a chopper, I break out in cold sweat.
I'm one of the ones forgotten, I'm A Vietnam Vet.
Chorus
This old world keeps turning, sunshine turns to rain.
I've got more friends on the Wall, than alive with me today.
Ya' can't go back and change what you're trying to forget.
I'm one of them, I'm all of them, I'm A Vietnam Vet.
V-2'
Now, I struggle with feelings of guilt on a bad day.
On my Harley, the freedom and the wind take them away.
I'm scared when shadows from the past haunt me at night.
I know I'm blessed, tell me why I don't feel right?
Chorus (2)
This old world keeps turning, my dark hair has turned grey.
Too many times I've bowed my head, while the sound of taps would play.
If Father time has a reason, I've not found it yet.
Please don't call me a Hero, I'm still alive, I'm A Vietnam Vet.

I'm one of them, I'm all of them, I'm A Vietnam Vet.
