Fightin' For The U.s.a. Lyrics - Jerry Reed

when uncle sam found that i wasnt married 

he sent a letter sayin son dont (*erry)? 

and make it down to your boat for induction 

when you arrive you'll get further instruction 

they said ya training outta do it so they put me right to it 

and they sit me on an aeroplane 

my destination dang nang vietnam 

now im a fightin for the usa 

oh glory and the usa 

if you dont like it cause im over here in vietnam 

well you can take your complaints to my uncle sam 

im just a shootin my rifle like he taught me to do 

doin exactly what he wants me to 

well im us soldier fightin for the usa 

i go crawlin through the swamp and the marshes 

steppin on vegtibles and squashes 

duckin bullets comin at me from the trees 

jumpin round knockin holes in my knees 

bullets flyin right and left got my scared half to death 

but i know the job has got to be done 

and thats why they sent me over here to vietnam 

i got captured by the vietcong 

and for a while i thought i was gonna get hung 

but they just beat me on the nose 

kinda mashed all my toes 

all the time a yin an yank and go home 

well they stretched me a squashed me 

and tried to brainwash me 

but i stuck up n snuck away 

then i popped up a fightin again for the usa 

now im a fightin for the usa 

the red white and blue american way 

if you dont like it cause im over here in vietnam 

well you can take your complaints to my uncle sam 

im just a shootin this rifle like he taught me to do 

and doin exactly what he wants me to 

cause im a us soldier fightin for the usa 

oh glory in the usa 

oh glory in the usa 

would you believe im a marine ha ha ha 

oh glory in the usa 

the red white and blue american way 

oh glory in the usa 

hmmmmmm
