Traveling Through This Part of You - Nanci Griffith

Nothing that I’ve ever seen

Now means much of anything

In traveling through this part of you

And the Vietnam that I had dreamed

The place you wore your life «fatigued»

I’m traveling through this part of you

Where are you amongst this madness

On the streets of Saigon?

Where were you in 1969?

When I was but a youth

Oh, here were you

You were traveling through this part of you

I’ll make my way now on my own

Back to my home to live alone

I have traveled through this part of you

Yet, I will save this time and place

For the time when I can say

I traveled truth this part of you

Repeat Chorus

You were an American boy

Whose innocence was lost here in the wat

And I wear your scars

While traveling through this part of you

Nothing that I’ve ever seen

Now means much of anything

In traveling through this part of you

And the Vietnam that I had dreameed

The place you wore your life «fatigued»

I’m traveling through this part of you

I’m traveling through this part of you

I’m traveling through this part of you
