Stateside

(Mel Tillis)

Well, the Japanies moon is bright tonight and Tokyo is full of life
Busy people everywhere but busy people just don't care
I wanna go stateside, oh Lord, I wanna go stateside.

In and out the honky tonks but nothing's there I really want
Sat awhile then look around get up and leave and walk the town
I wanna go stateside, oh Lord, I wanna go stateside.

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

Oh Lord, I wanna go stateside...
