Annotation
Garage rock. Home front perspective, draft "You woke up morning to a wonderful day / And knew good fortune was coming your way / Your loved one was coming on flight 99 / It was nearing the time he would arrive / Oh you love him so much little miss teen... / Your days together were happy and gay / And then that letter came one sad day / Tears filled your eyes as you watched him read / And you knew that soon he would have to leave / Don't take him from me, cried little miss teen... / The army has changed him into a fighting man / He's trained and now he's in South Vietnam / He's not only fighting for liberty / But for love of you and his country / How you miss him so much, oh little miss teen..."
