Annotation
Country music, P.O.W. "I just came back from Vietnam where I spend 7 years In a dirty rotten prison camp, a cried a lot of tears Through dreary days and lonely night I sat there in That cell, while you were there in heaven I spent my Time in hell, my days were filled with loneliness, my Nights with thoughts of you, it never once ran through My mind that you would not be true, now I've come Back home to find that you have left me now, and I Wish I'd died in the prison camp in Northern Vietnam My heart feels so empty now, once held my love of you This should be a happy time but now I feel so blue The thoughts of coming home to you is what helped Me survive, although I find I've lost your love, it Once kept me alive...I wish I'd died in a prison camp..."
