Current song lyrics
Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart<br />I rolled down the national stroll<br />and with a big fat paycheck<br />strapped to my hip sack<br />and a shore leave wristwatch underneath<br />my sleeve<br />in a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heels<br />I rowed down the gutter to the Blood Bank<br />and I'd left all my papers on the Ticonderoga<br />and was in a bad need of a shave<br />and so I slopped at the corner on cold chow mein<br />and shot billards with a midget<br />until the rain stopped<br />and I bought a long sleeved shirt<br />with horses on the front<br />and some gum and a lighter and a knife<br />and a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)<br />and I sat down and wrote a letter to my wife<br /><br />and I said Baby, I'm so far away from home<br />and I miss my Baby so<br />I can't make it by myself<br />I love you so<br /><br />Well I was pacing myself<br />trying to make it all last<br />squeezing all the life<br />out of a lousy two day pass<br />and I had a cold one at the Dragon<br />with some Filipino floor show<br />and talked baseball with a lieutenant<br />over a Singapore sling<br />and I wondered how the same moon outside<br />over this Chinatown fair<br />could look down on Illinois<br />and find you there<br />and you know I love you Baby<br /><br />and I'm so far away from home<br />and I miss my Baby so<br />I can't make it by myself<br />I love you so<br /><br />Shore Leave...<br />Shore Leave...
