should know that this is the awesome living legend - the one and only - Charlie Daniels! I have played his Live! CD so many times to get me through the night, I know many of the words to his songs by heart. I don't think 'ole Charlie would mind me kinda chang'n the words to his "Still in Saigon" song and rededicate it to our men and women fighting in Iraq. "Got on a plane in 'Frisco and got off in Iraq - I walked into a different world - The past forever gone - I could have gone to Canada or I could have stayed in school - but I was brought up differently - I couldn't break the rules - thirteen months and fifteen days - the last ones were the worst - one minute I'd kneel down and pray - and the next I'd stand and curse - no place to run to where I did not feel that war - when I got home I stayed alone and checked behind each door - cuz I'm still in Baghdad - still in Baghdad - I am still in Baghdad in my mind - the ground at home was covered in snow - and I was covered in sweat - my younger brother calls me a killer and my daddy calls me a vet - everybody says I'm someone else - and I'm sick and there's no cure - damned if I know who I am - there was only one place I was sure - when i was still in Baghdad - still in Baghdad - I am still in Baghdad - In my mind - every summer when it rain I smell the desert, I hear the planes - I can't tell no one, I feel ashamed - afraid some day I'll go insane -that's been five long years ago - and time has gone on by - now and then I catch myself - eyes searching through the sky - all the sounds of long ago - will be forever in my head - mingled with the wounded cries - and the silence of the dead' - cuz I'm still in Baghdad - still in Baghdad - I am still in Baghdad - in my mind - I am still in Baghdad I am still in Baghdad - yes, I'm still in Baghdad - in my mind."
