Why for the life of me can I not get the line of a sixties song out of my mind? And it's 1, 2, 3 what are we fighting for? This is crazy!!! Oh well that's what I get for having the Marine Corps and the Navy working on my fence today.
I think it also might be that you are possibly too young? I know the next line has something to do with "next stop is Vietnam"
magnus - if I knew who sang it or the name I wouldn't be going nuts! As it is I just want to shoot myself and I can't ask half my friends since they are Nam vets - nor can I ask my dad (since he not only is a Nam vet but wasn't into the 60's thing - damn the Career officer thing). Oh well I'll ask my bestest exboyfriend tomorrow when he's over here working on my fence (yes I actually do have friends). ps- I stopped and thought about it...I am a big Credence Clearwater fan and I'm pretty sure it's not a song they wrote or sang. Hmmm, Let's see if I can remember more of it... And it's 1, 2, 3, 4 what are we fighting for, well you know I don't give a damn, next stop is VietNam and it's 5, 6, 7 open up the pearly gates? ah hell I just can't remember past that part
I was talking about me not knowing it Oh well beer is good.... yesterday I helped out my darlin'l....it was a good day.
Oops my bad...it's been a long day of fence work here at home along with wine and beer (never mix the two together). So as my best buddy would say... it'z all good!
