In case my other post was too depressing, perhaps you would enjoy a sing along, here are the lyrics. The video is linked a that bottom. This is My Rifle Mark Maysey ---------------------------- Back in 69, I didnt have a care Before they called my number, I chopped of all my hair Said goodbye to mamma, dad and uncle Dan Boarded an airplane and headed off for Nam He called us to attention as we stepped off the plane Checked us off a list as he called out our names Then he picked up his rifle and raised it in the air Grabbed his crotch with his other hand as we all stood and stared He said... Chorus This is my rifle This is my gun One is for killing The others for fun So until this war is over Or until your time is done This is your rifle and this one is your gun Thirty years have passed since I stepped off that plane The nightmares havent ended and neither has the pain Ive drank my share of liquor and smoked my share of grass But I cant unload the memories or these few words from my past Repeat Chorus Well, a dear friend of mine finally called it quits They found him one cold morning laying in a ditch A bullet through his brain, his rifle at his side And one old rusted dog tag from 1969 When they turned his body over they found his written note It wasnt but a few lines, but the last he ever wrote And when they laid him in his grave on that cold December day I took those words hed written and I began to play Repeat Chorus Back in 69, I didnt have a care Before they called my number, I chopped off all my hair https://youtube/watch?v=0_-T0JJRSnc
