"This song is dedicated to Michael R. Hamilton. Uncle Ricky never had to go to Vietnam while in the Service. But just the thought of it, in his head, scared the shit out of me! . . . God bless you uncle Ricky. I love you and miss you dearly." -- Mikey . . . . . . . . . . Now he lays lonely in a V.A. bed. With the sounds of helicopters buzzing in his head, but he has hopes that he'll walk out someday, but the doctor says, "Hey look Johnny, No Way." Then Johnny turns, "But I'm U.S.M.C" he said, And walk right out that door, that's just what Johnny did. U.S. Marines." -- Michael J. Holloway . . . "A man has not lived until he has almost died. For those who have fought, life has a flavor the protected will never know." -- Vietnam Veteran | MP3.com CD: Jukebox Jams - buy it!

Lyrics
This young man did not know what he wanted to do, but then he met some young men with a tattoo. Decided he wanted to be one of the proud, the few. All-American, Red, White and Blue, "We're U.S.M.C." They said, Kill or be killed, that is what that tattoo read, U.S. Marines.
Now he spent some time in Vietnam. Four tours of duty, Laos and Saigon. He's seen a lot of his friends die, and to this day, we still do not know why. "I'm U.S.M.C." he said. Kill or be killed, So he left that dude there dead. U.S. Marines.
Now he lays lonely in a V.A. bed. With the sounds of helicopters buzzing in his head, but he has hopes that he'll walk out someday, but the doctor says, "Hey look Johnny, No Way." Then Johnny turns, "But I'm U.S.M.C" he said, And walk right out that door, that's just what Johnny did. U.S. Marines.
