Billy came back from vietnam just a shadow of a man,
He was a shadow of a man when he cam back from vietnam

He was spraying that agent orange on the foliage of the land
out of 80 gallon cans, way back in vietnam
Billy came back from vietnam just a shadow of a man,
He was a shadow of a man when he cam back from vietnam

He married a little women that he liked to call Diane
Though her true name was Mei Pan
She changed her name to Mrs. Gram
After two still born babies, Billy said I am
Just a portion of the man I was before I went to Nam
Now he drinks and snorts amphetamine
Just as often as he can cause' he's the shadow of a man who
spent his time in Vietnam
