Shore Leave

[00:33.57] Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart
[00:34.19] I rolled down the national stroll
[00:41.67] And with a big fat paycheck
[00:43.02] Strapped to my hip sack
[00:45.83] And a shore leave wristwatch underneath
[00:47.88] My sleeve
[00:50.26] In a hong kong drizzle on cuban heels
[00:53.94] I rowed down the gutter to the blood bank
[00:59.87] And i'd left all my papers on the ticonderoga
[01:04.02] And was in a bad need of a shave
[01:08.77] And so i slopped at the corner on cold chow mein
[01:11.58] And shot billards with a midget
[01:13.27] Until the rain stopped
[01:16.76] And i bought a long sleeved shirt
[01:18.43] With horses on the front
[01:19.84] And some gum and a lighter and a knife
[01:23.00] And a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)
[01:26.69] And i sat down and wrote a letter to my wife
[01:31.94] And i said baby, i'm so far away from home
[01:40.40] And i miss my baby so
[01:45.83] I can't make it by myself
[01:49.79] I love you so
[01:56.82] Well i was pacing myself
[01:59.06] Trying to make it all last
[02:01.45] Squeezing all the life
[02:02.77] Out of a lousy two day pass
[02:06.02] And i had a cold one at the dragon
[02:08.36] With some filipino floor show
[02:10.94] And talked baseball with a lieutenant
[02:13.22] Over a singapore sling
[02:15.74] And i wondered how the same moon outside
[02:18.11] Over this chinatown fair
[02:21.01] Could look down on illinois
[02:22.71] And find you there
[02:26.13] And you know i love you baby
[02:28.93] And i'm so far away from home
[02:32.60] And i miss my baby so
[02:40.68] I can't make it by myself
[02:45.67] I love you so
