MEKONG DELTA BLUES

I was raised in the 60's Grew up real fast
Watching the war on TV Marines really kicked ass
There’s only one problem I can't seem to lose
I can't seem to shake those Mekong Delta Blues

You see I went to college Cause high school was a breeze
But college was different Really knocked me to my knees
Didn’t make the gradeMy draft number came due
I can't seem to shake those Mekong Delta Blues

(Chorus)
Delta Blues, Delta Blues
From my head down to my shoes
I can't seem to lose
Those Mekong Delta Blues

The weather is lousy Hot and wet you see
I'm steady dodging bullets Gooks are shooting at me
My boots are all funky Full of mud and guts and goo
I can't shake those Mekong Delta Blues

My tour is almost over I'm heading home real soon
My girlfriend won't be waiting She ran off with some goon
Gotta find a job Flipping burgers or serving stew
I can't seem to shake those Mekong Delta Blues

Delta Blues, Delta Blues
From my head down to my shoes
I can't seem to lose
Those Mekong Delta Blues
