Well, he was in Thailand based
She was an Airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange

But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be all right
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia
Ooh, ooh
Fly to Cambodia

And as the nights passed by
She used to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know what got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all

He had the saddest eyes that you have ever seen
He used to cry some nights as though he lived the dream
And as she held him close he used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia

Fly to Cambodia
Ooh, ooh
Fly to Cambodia

Fly to Cambodia
Ooh, ooh
(Ooh, ooh)
