Hanoi '68

Charlie Hurst was a rolling stone

when he'd get his poison

he'd rest his bones

a Vietnam vet,

star-spangled reject

you'll catch him at the shelter

on spring and 5th

[Pre chorus:]

American icon, hero in Saigon

prayed hard to Jesus Christ

Charlie got strung out in 69'

[Chorus:]

long live Charlie Hurst

Ho Chi Mihn and the 101st

the NVA, and bombs away

Hanoi rocked in 68'

Phan Chu was from

north Vietnam

across the border

in a communist land

he ran guns for

the Asha valley

fought for V.C

against the U.S. military

his village was wiped out

his family was gunned

he ran the jungle

in the middle of the night

Charlie don't know how to surf

this one knew how to fight

[Chorus:]

long live Phan Trihn

Charlie Hurst and Ho Chi Mihn

LBJ, the bombing campaign

Hanoi rocked in 68'

68'..... bomb's away...

Hanoi rocked, in 68'
