Lyrics

The Japanese 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
Sit awhile and look around
Up and leave and walk the town
I wanna go stateside
Oh, Lord, I wanna go stateside
Geisha 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 or say a man don'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
