歌曲名 I Should Be Proud 歌手名 Martha Reeves And The Vandellas

I was under the dryer when the telegram came

Private john c miller was shot down in vietnam

Through my tears i read no more information at this time

He's missin' in action somewhere on the delta line

And they say that i should be proud he was fightin' for me

They say that i should be proud those too blind to see

But he wasn't fightin' for me my johnny didn't have to fight for me

He was fightin' for the evils of society

Now i prayed night & day that my johnny wouldn't die love

Faith & hope was all that kept me alive

Then 6 weeks later came that cold & heartless letter

Private johnny was killed in action number 54327

And they say that i should be proud

He was keepin' me free

They say that i should be proud

Those too blind to see

But he wasn't fightin' for me

My johnny didn't have to die for me

He was fightin' for the evils of society

They shipped him home with medals of honor & glory

Even our local paper ran a front-page story

But the whole time gave him praisin' & said how honored i should be

But i don't want no superstar just the good man they took from me

And they tell me i should be proud

He was fightin' for me

They say that i should be proud

Those too blind to see

But he wasn't fightin' for me

My johnny didn't have to die for me

He's a victim of the evils of society

I should be proud of my johnny

They tell me that i should be proud

They just don't want johnny for me

They tell me that i should be proud of my johnny
