Galveston is a classic song by frequent Glen Campbell collaborator Jimmy Webb. It is a subtle yet poignant song about the Vietnam War. The narrator talks about cleaning his gun and fearing death while remembering times spent on the beach in Galveston, TX with the young woman he left behind when he shipped out to war.

The original lyrics included the line:

Wonder if she could forget me
I’d go home if they would let me
Put down this gun
And go to Galveston.

They can be heard on the original Don Ho version.
