STATESIDE
(Mel Tillis, © 1965 Cedarwood Publishing)

Well the Japanese moon is bright tonight and Tokyo is full of life.
Busy people everywhere, but busy people just don't care.
I want to go stateside. Oh Lord, I want to go stateside.

In and out the honky-tonks but nothing's there I really want.
Sit awhile and look around, get up and leave and walk the town.
I want to go stateside. Oh Lord, I want to go stateside.

The geisha girls don't understand the lonely life of a service man.
When his heart is far away to a girl in the USA.
I want to go stateside. Oh Lord, I want to go stateside.

I've heard say a man don't cry, but I can't keep my blue eyes dry.
I've been away about two years. I know I've cried a million tears.
I want to go stateside. Oh Lord, I want to go stateside.
Oh Lord, I want to go stateside.
