(Chorus:)
Ia Drang
Ia Drang
Ia Drang
I remember how I cried
It was the battle of '65
Where 7th Cav soldiers died
The battle of the Ia Drang
So pick me up
And take me away
I want to see everyone
On the last day
Back in the Ia Drang
(Chorus)
Why don't you let me go
I want to ride this chariot home
Where the monsoons blow
Right into the Ia Drang
So raise me up
And take me away
I want to see everyone
On the last day
Back in the Ia Drang
(Chorus)
What secrets do you know
I want these dreams to let me go
I want to see this river flow
Right into the Ia Drang
So lift me up
And take me away
I want to see everyone
On the last day
Back in the Ia Drang
(Chorus)

Back in the Ia Drang
Were all going to meet
At Landing Zone X-ray
Back in the Ia Drang
(Chorus)
My heart still aches today
To ride this Huey home
Will you kneel down and pray
For the boys at Ia Drang
So pick me up
And take me away
I want to see everyone
On the last day
Back in the Ia Drang
Ia Drang
