Lyric discussion by sungod916 

You guys are all on the right track. The song is actually about a guy John McCrea met in a bar. He was talking about the Korean which he fought it. From the sounds of the song he was probably drunk. But it makes sense, if you think of yourself sitting in a bar, and a drunk Korean War vet singing about his experience."And so I sit here at this bar, i'm not a hero i'm not a movie star"

@sungod916 I'm curious what this person was referencing 13 years ago, to tell others that they were "on the right track."

An error occured.
