The Monkees ~ Last Train To Clarksville
The song "Last Train to Clarksville" was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, a songwriting team that wrote several Monkees hits.
In an interview published by Songfacts, Hart explained that yes, it was a Vietnam War protest song about a young man who gets drafted. The train is taking him to an Army post, and he knows that he may die in Vietnam. At the end of the song he laments, "I don't know if I'm ever coming home."
