Billy came back from vietnam
just a shadow of a man
he was a shadow of a man
when he came back from vietnam
billy came back from vietnam
just a shadow of a man
he was a shadow of a man
when he came 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 came back from vietnam
He married him up a woman that he
like to call diane
though her true name was mai-pan
she changed her name to mrs. graham
after two stillborn 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
he's a shadow of a man
spent his time in vietnam
Billy came back from vietnam
just a shadow of a man
he was a shadow of a man
when he came back from vietnam
