Well 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

[ choir ]

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
