Joined the service out of school in the year of '69When the Doors were ridin' on the storm, Hendrix was aliveAnd before I could blink an eye, I was sent to VietnamTo teach them people democracyJesus, what a laugh.All across the highlands, we moved in single fileLookin' for them Vietcong, I musta crawled a 1000 milesBut I'd only one thought on me mind,'Twas your eyes of emerald greenMy love is in New York, oh she's the only one for meI learned to smoke the opium pipe, I learned it all too well'Cause when the shells are bangin' in your earsIt stops that livin' hellThen one night 6 months laterWhile in the DMZMe own dear U.S. Air Force blew the hell right out of meStill I loved my countryI saluted the old flagWhen you're a boy from Woodside, QueensYou give it all you have'Cause I knew you'd be there waitin'With your eyes of emerald greenMy love is in New York and she's the only one for meBut when I got sent home at last, they jeered and spat at meThey called me a fascist, said I was the enemyI could've put up with all of that'Twas no big thing to meBut you killed me with one look of disgustFrom those emerald greensNow I sit down here on Broadway, this pavement is me homeThe war is long forgotten, for those who stayed at homeAnd I wish I had me opium pipeTo stop that livin' hellThat's goin' on inside me head, I wish it all so wellAnd the Doors still ride by on the stormHendrix hides from JoeI should be history around here but where else is there to go'Cause I know you're out there somewhere,With your eyes of emerald greenMy love is in New York, oh she's the only one for me
