I Should Be Proud - Martha Reeves & 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
