Well, the Japan's 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
I'm in and out of the honky tonks
But nothing's there I really want
Sat awhile and I looked around
Get up and leave and walk the town
I wanna go stateside
Oh, Lord
I wanna go stateside
Well, the geisha 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 statеside
Oh, Lord
I wanna go stateside
Wеll, I've heard say, "A man don't cry"
But I can't keep my brown 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
I wanna go stateside
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna go stateside
