Stateside

Well, the Japanese moon is bright tonight,
And Tokyo is full of light.
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-tonk,

But nothin’s there I really want.
Sit a while, then look around,
Get up and leave and walk to town.
The Geisha girls don’t understand
The lonely life of a serviceman,
When his heart is far away
To a girl in the U.S.A.

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 billion tears.
