I'm runnin' round in circles, tryna chase away the feelin'
That eyes from all around, are locked upon my back
Heavens rained its fortune, the day that I was drafted
I kissed my momma goodbye
And loaded on the greyhound
Lushful garden greenery
Somethin' that I'd never seen
I was in a frightened state, and they were runnin' wild
Uncle Sam was no friend of mine
The haunting screams forever on my mind
Never compensated for my time
Love, my friend, did not exist
Deep inside the jungles of Nam
Bullets flyin' day and night
Armed soley with my gun and knife
I didn't wanna do it, but I had to to survive
All the things that I had seen
Now constant in a young man's dreams
I would give up anything to take hold of my life
Uncle Sam was no friend of mine
The haunting screams forever on my mind
Never compensated for my time
Love, my friend, did not exist
Deep inside the jungles of Nam
I never have recovered, after all these years
I can't seem to let go of the bottle and the fear
Freshly outta high school, runnin' for my life
That's what's in my head, constant day and night
Uncle Sam was no friend of mine
The haunting screams forever on my mind
Never compensated for my time
Love, my friend, did not exist
Deep inside the jungles of Nam
