Annotation
The country song "From Saigon to Little Rock", on the famous Tennessee label Sun Records (# SUN-1112), in which the narrator recalled an exchange of letters between himself and his mother - his mother wanted him home to help with the farming duties, but the son is stuck in Vietnam for at least 10 months, and although "the greyhound is running", it unfortunately "don't run from Saigon to Little Rock".
