The Japany's moon is bright tonight and Tokio 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 and look around get up and leave and walk the town
I wanna go stateside oh Lord I wanna go stateside
[ guitar + piano ]
Giashy girls don't understand the lonely life of a sailor man
When his heart is far away to a girl in the USA
I wanna go stateside oh Lord I wanna go stateside
They laugh and say a man won't cry but I can't keep my blue eyes dry
Been away about two years I know I've cried a million tears
I wanna go stateside oh Lord I wanna go stateside
