umbertino Posted October 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 According to a youtube poster: Bunnell wrote this song based on some of those tales he heard, stories about how when stationed in Vietnam, they were afraid to sleep for fear of attack, so they would stay up as long as they could (sometimes with the help of various substances), since sleep could mean death. The "sandman" represents sleep, which they feared. Thus they were always "running from the sandman." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
