I Don’t Wanna Go to Vietnam
Sittin' down here thinkin'
I don't wanna go to Vietnam
I'm sittin' down here thinkin'
I don't wanna go to Vietnam
I have all these troubles at home
I don't wanna go to Vietnam

I read the news every day
I read about Vietnam
I read the news every day
I read about Vietnam
I got so much friends in Vietnam
I might not never see them no more

Sittin' here thinkin'
I don't wanna go to Vietnam
Sittin' here thinkin', thinkin', thinkin'
I don't wanna go to Vietnam
You men in the street have so much trouble of their own
Why they wanna fight in Vietnam?
Have mercy

Lord, have mercy
Don't let me go to Vietnam
Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy
Don't let me go to Vietnam
I have my wife and my family
I don't wanna go to Vietnam
We got so much trouble at home
We don't need to go to Vietnam
Yeah, yeah, there's a whole lot of trouble right here at home
Don't need to go to Vietnam
We outta stay at home, stay out of trouble
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
Vietnam
