There's not much a man can do inside a prison
D7 G
Just take his memory trips and fight the pain
C G
And a word from home can mean so much to a prisoner

It's been years now since that last letter came
G C G
Not a day goes by that I don't think of mama
D7 G
And my nights are filled with thoughts of sweet Marie
C G
And old friends I ran around with keep on running through my mind
D7 G
But I just wonder if they ever think of me
D7 G
I wonder if they know that I'm still living
C G D7
And still proud to be a part of Uncle Sam
C G
I wonder if they think I died of hunger
A7 D7
In this rotten prison camp in Viet Nam
G C G
Not a day goes by that I don't think of mama
D7 G
And my nights are filled with thoughts of sweet Marie
C G
And I remember daddy saying you'll come back a better man
D7 G
And I just wonder if they ever think of me
D7 G
Oh I just wonder if they ever think of me
