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
