When did the following come out and what is it about?

Exactly what the title says. When did the following come out and what is it about

"And we learned fast

"To travel light

"Our arms were heavy but our bellys were tight"

and

"And it was dark

"So dark at night

"We held on to each other

"Like brother to brother"

Update:

Guess it was too obscure for folks here. It's verses from Billy Joel's "Goodnight Siagon" which came out on "The Nylon Curtain" album on September 23, 1982. It's about Marines in the Vietnam War. The video for the song is something folks have to see as it seems he got Vietnam vets to do the background vocals on the chorus. Not to mention the photos http://www.billyjoel.com/goodnight-saigon-video
