Lyric discussion by butterroll 

  1. the song is a cover
  2. it is written and recorded originally by Billy Roberts in 1961
  3. 1961 = it isnt about vietnam
  4. the song is about some guy who shot his wife and is on the run from the law

@butterroll the Vietnam War did start in 1955, but direct US involvement wasn't until 1965. But I agree it isn't about a Vietnam vet or the war.
