Lyrics:

                                                  
THE NAMES ON THAT BLACK WALL

We were all young and leery
When we served in Vietnam
Battled the heat and humidity
Months after senior prom
Didn't know what we were doing
Or how we got stuck there
We banded as brothers
Each picking up his own share

These memories we carry
Weigh heavy as a load of bricks
Made up of long endless trails
And deadly punji sticks
Counting off the days
One by one
Wondering about my girl back home
And dreading a Dear John

Every burden that we met
Came at a high price
Despite knowing that
We still gave it our all
As much as these memories weigh
At the end of the day
None are as heavy
As the names on that black wall

Yeah we weathered the mortar attacks
Hot LZs and firefights
Humped through the deadly jungle
Survived unnerving nights
Prayed that we would make it home
To start a new life
Every soldier had one wish
To make it out alive

CHORUS

None are as heavy as the names on that black wall
None are as heavy as the names on that black wall
