가사

[Intro]
Johnny gave Joe his first cigarette
And Joe lit the filter, then he smoked the whole pack
And Joe bought all the gas in Johnny's old Ford
He always said that's what friends were for
[Verse 1]
When Johnny married Tina, Joe married Dee
Two blonde-haired sisters from Covington, Kentucky
And in '67 Johnny joined the Corps
Joe did too, but he never knew what for
[Chorus]
And tonight, in this barroom, he's easin' his pain
He's thinkin' of someone, but he won't say the name
Folks say he's a hero, but he'll tell you he ain't
He left a hero in the jungle back in 1968
[Verse 2]
Johnny went from job to job tryin' to make ends meet
And Tina divorced him back in '83
Now, thirty years come and thirty years go
Johnny's got a grandkid that he barely knows
[Chorus]
And tonight, in this barroom, he's easin' his pain
He's thinkin' of someone, but he won't say the name
Folks say he's a hero, but he'll tell you he ain't
He left a hero in the jungle back in 1968
[Verse 3]
Well, Dee calls Johnny every now and then
And talks about her children and her third husband
But when he asks about someone they used to know
Dee says, "Johnny, that was so long ago"
[Chorus]
Tonight, in this barroom, he's easin' his pain
He's thinkin' of someone, but he won't say the name
Folks say he's a hero, he'll tell you he ain't
He left a hero in the jungle back in 1968
[Outro]
He left a hero in the jungle back in 1968
