I'M AN AMERICAN VOICE - COME A LONG WAY I WAS BORN AND BRED IN THE USA
SO LISTEN UP CLOSE I GOT SOMETHIN' TO SAY - CAUSE I'M BUYIN' THIS ROUND
WELL IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE BUT WE'RE IN THIS FIGHT
AINT GOIN' HOME TILL WE DONE WHAT'S RIGHT
GONNA DRINK CAMPIN' TOWN DRY TONIGHT - IF I HAVE TO SPEND MY LAST BOUT
WHEN I FIRST GOT TO LONDON IT WAS POURIN' DOWN RAIN
MET A LITTLE 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 ROUND AN HE SHUT OUT THE LIGHT
BELLS RINGIN' OUT ON THE LONDON NIGHT - WE MADE LOVE TILL DAWN
REPEAT CHORUS:
WELL WHEN JOHNNY COME LATELY COMES MARCHIN' HOME
WITH A CHEST FULL OF MEDALS AND A GI LOAN
THEY'LL BE WAITIN' AT THE STATION DOWN AT SAN ANTONE
SINGIN' JOHNNY COME MARCHIN' HOME
MY P 47 IS A PRETTY GOOD SHIP - SHE TOOK A RIDE COMIN' CROSS THE CHANNEL LAST TRIP
WAS THINKIN' BOUT MY BABY AND LETTIN' HER RIP - I WAS COMIN' THROUGH SO FAST
WELL THEY CAN SHIP ME ALL OVER THIS GREAT BIG WORLD
NEVER FOUND NOTHIN' LIKE A NORTH END GIRL
TAKIN' HER HOME WITH A ONE DAY SERVE - SOON AS WE WIN THIS WAR
REPEAT CHORUS:
NOW MY GRAND DADDY SANG THIS SONG - TOLD ME BOUT LONDON WHEN THE BLITZ WAS ON
HOW HE MARRIED GRAMMA AND BROUGHT HER BACK HOME - A HERO THROUGHOUT THIS LAND
NOW STANDIN' ON A RUNWAY AT SAN DIEGO - CRIPPLED PURPLE HEARTS WHO MOVE A LITTLE SLOW
NOBODY HERE MAYBE NOBODY KNOWS - BOUT A PLACE CALLED VIETNAM
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
