Campbell's version of the song also went to number 1 on the country music charts.[2] On other charts, "Galveston" went to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the "Easy Listening" charts.[3] It was certified gold by the RIAA in October 1969.[4] The song is considered by many to be the unofficial anthem of Galveston Island and the City of Galveston, Texas.{{citation needed|date=August 2017}} Background and writingCampbell's recording of the song, released in 1969, was perceived as being a Vietnam War protest song,[5] but Campbell performed it up-tempo, conveying a more general message. The protagonist is a soldier, as shown in the original promo video with Campbell dressed up in a military outfit. Webb described it as an anti-war song, and challenged Campbell's version of his song and the notion that it was in any way a "patriotic song". According to Webb, the song is "about a guy who's caught up in something he doesn't understand and would rather be somewhere else".[6] ContentThe song describes a soldier waiting to go into battle who thinks of the woman he loves and his hometown of Galveston, Texas. The song was originally sung by Don Ho, who introduced Glen Campbell to it when he appeared as a guest on Campbell's Goodtime Hour, and the second verse was originally transcribed: "I'd go home if they would let me "Put down this gun "And go to Galveston."[7] However, in Campbell's version, this was changed to read: "I still hear your sea waves crashing "While I watch the cannons flashing "I clean my gun "And dream of Galveston."[8] CoversThe song was covered by the indie rock band The Ladybug Transistor.
