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   cuz I'm    (chorus)  Still in Saigon  Still in Saigon  I am still in Saigon  in my mind    The ground at home was covered in snow  and I was covered in sweat  My younger brother calls me a killer  and my daddy calls me a vet    Everybody says I'm someone else  and I'm sick and there's no cure  Damned if I know who I am  where was only one place I was sure  When I was    (chorus)    Every summer when it rains  I smell the jungle, I hear the planes  I can't tell no one, I feel ashamed  Afraid some day I'll go insane    (instrumental)    That's been ten long years ago  and time has gone on by  Now and then I catch myself  eye-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  Cuz I'm    (chorus)    I am still in Saigon  I am still in Saigon  Yes, I'm still in Saigon  In my mind
