Nothing that I've ever seen Now means much of anything In traveling through this part of you And the Vietnam that I had dreamed The place you wore your life 'fatigued' I'm traveling through this part of you
Chorus: Where are you amongst this madness On the streets of Saigon Where were you in 1969 When I was but a youth Oh, here were you You were traveling through this part of you
I'll make my way now on my own Back to my home to live alone Having traveled through this part of you And I will save this time and place For the time when I can say I traveled truth in this part of you
(Repeat Chorus)
You were an American boy Whose innocence was lost here in the war And I'll wear your scars While traveling through this part of you
Nothing that I've ever seen Now means much of anything In traveling through this part of you And the Vietnam that I had dreamed The place you wore your life fatigued I'm traveling through this part of you
