MARINE
Weary eyed past midnight his mind wanders
The dilapidated motel sign flickering outside
Dallas a lonely place for an eighteen year old
Tomorrow his induction into America’s best
Vietnam a thousands of miles across the sea
It might as well have been across the street
His future flashing insanely across his mind
The lights from the strip club across the street
Flashing in unison with the vacancy sign.
