Traveling Through This Part Of You Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Nothing that I've ever seen 

Now means much of anything 

In traveling through this part of you 

And the Vietnam that I had dreamed 

The place you wore your life fatigued 

I'm traveling through this part of you 

Where are you amongst the madness 

On the streets of Saigon? 

Where were you in 1969 

When I was but a youth? 

Oh, here were you 

You were traveling through this part of you 

I'll make my way now on my own 

Back to my home to live alone 

Having traveled through this part of you 

Yet, I will save this time and place 

For the time when I can say 

I've traveled truth this part of you 

Where are you amongst the madness 

On the streets of Saigon? 

Where were you in 1969 

When I was but a youth? 

Oh, here were you 

You were traveling through this part of you 

You were an American boy 

Whose innocence was lost here in the war 

And I'll wear your scars 

While traveling through this part of you 

Nothing that I've ever seen 

Now means much of anything 

In traveling through this part of you 

And the Vietnam that I had dreamed 

The place you wore your life fatigued 

I'm traveling through this part of you 

I am traveling through this part of you 

I am traveling through this part of you
