I'm an American, boys. I've come a long way

I was born and bred in the USA

So listen up close, I've get something to say

Boys, I'm buying this round

Well it took a Little while but we're in this fight

And we ain't going home 'til we've done what's right

We're gonna drink Camden Town dry tonight

If I have to spend my last pound

When I first got to London it was pourin' down rain

Met a Iittle girl in the field canteen

Painted her name on the nose of my plane

Six more missions I'm gone

Well I asked if I could stay and she said that I might

Then the warden came around yelling "shut out the lights"

Death rainin' out of the London night

We made love 'til dawn

When Johnny Come Lately comes marching home

With a chest full of medals and a G.l. loan

They'll be waitin' at the station down in San Antone

When Johnny comes marching home

MY P-47 is a pretty good ship

She took a round coming cross the Channel last trip

I was thinking 'bout my baby and letting her rip

Always got me through so far

Well they can ship me all over this great big world

But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl

I'm taking her home with me one day, sir

Soon as we win this war

When Johnny Come Lately comes marching home

With a chest full of medals and a G.l. loan

They'll be waitin' at the station down in San Antone

When Johnny comes marching home

Now my granddaddy sang me this song

Told me about London when the Blitz was on

How he married Grandma and brought her back home

A hero throughout this land

Now I'm standing on a runway in San Diego

A couple o' Purple Hearts so I move a little slow

ain't nobody here, maybe nobody knows

About a place called Vietnam

This song is about the great difference between the homecomings of solders from WW2 and Vietnam. WW2 vets were met by cheering crowds and/or parades while Vietnam vets would have been LUCKY to be met by nobody instead of protesters yelling, cussing and spitting at them. They say we lost the war in Vietnam but that is not true, we won on the battlefields of Vietnam but lost on the battlefields of Ameican public opinion.

I love this album and many of his other songs. His writing has gone to shit, and I really hate his politics.

Anyone notice the Irish influence in this? They as much as anyone made this country. To all Irish boys who love America, here's to you!
