TWO FOR TUESDAY

Link: [The Charlie Daniels Band]

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Still In Saigon

The Charlie Daniels Band

Got on a plane in Frisco

And got off in Vietnam

I walked into a different world

The past forever gone

I could have gone to Canada

Or I could have stayed in school

But I was brought up differently

I couldn’t break the rules

Thirteen months and fifteen days

The last ones were the worst

One minute I’d kneel down and pray

And the next I’d stand and curse

No place to run to

Where I did not feel that war

When I got home I stayed alone

And checked behind each door

‘Cause I’m still in Saigon

Still in Saigon

I am still in Saigon

In my mind

The ground at home was covered with snow

And I was covered with sweat

My younger brother calls me a killer

And my daddy calls me a vet

Everybody says I’m someone else

That I’m sick and there’s no cure

Damned if I know who I am

There was only one place I was sure

When I was still in Saigon

Still in Saigon

I am still in Saigon

In my mind

Every summer

When it rains

I smell the jungle

I hear the planes

I can’t tell no one

I feel ashamed

Afraid someday

I’ll go insane

That’s been ten long years ago

And time has gone on by

But now and then I catch myself

Eyes searching through the sky

All the sounds of long ago

Will be forever in my head

Mingled with the wounded cries

And the silence of the dead

‘Cause I’m still in Saigon

Still in Saigon

I am still in Saigon

In my mind

I am still in Saigon

I am still in Saigon

Yes I’m still in Saigon

In my mind

Still in Saigon

In America

The Charlie Daniels Band

The eagle’s been flyin’ slow

And the flag’s been flyin’ low

And a lot of people sayin’

That America’s fixin’ to fall

But speakin’ just for me

And some people from Tennessee

We got a thing or two

To tell y’all

This lady might have stumbled

But she ain’t never fell

And if the Russians don’t believe that

They can all go straight to Hell

We’re gonna put her back

On the path of righteousness

And then

God bless America again

And you never did think

That it every would happen again

In America

Did you

You never did think

That we’d ever get together again

But we damn sure could

We’re walkin’ real proud

And we’re talkin’ real loud again

In America

You never did think

That it ever would happen again

From the sound up in Long Island

Out to the San Francisco Bay

And everything that’s in between them

Is our home

And we may have done a little bit

Of fightin’ amongst ourselves

But you outside people best

Leave us alone

‘Cause we’ll all stick together

And you can take that to the bank

That’s the cowboys

And the hippies

And the rebels

And the yanks

You just go and lay your hand

On a Pittsburg Steelers fan

And I think

You’re gonna finally understand

And you never did think

That it every would happen again

In America

Did you

You never did think

That we’d ever get together again

But we damn sure could

We’re walkin’ real proud

And we’re talkin’ real loud again

In America

You never did think

That it ever would happen again

And you never did think

That it every would happen again

In America

Did you

You never did think

That we’d ever get together again

But we damn sure could

We’re walkin’ real proud

And we’re talkin’ real loud again

In America

You never did think

That it ever would happen again
