Shore Leave

[00:32.51] Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart
[00:35.99] I rolled down the national stroll
[00:40.49] And with a big fat paycheck strapped to my hip sack
[00:44.58] And a shore leave wristwatch underneath my sleeve
[00:49.00] In a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heels
[00:52.61] I rolled down the gutter to the Blood Bank
[00:58.43] And I'd left all my papers on the Ticonderoga
[01:02.82] And I was in a bad need of a shave
[01:07.53] And I slopped at the corner on cold chow mein
[01:10.72] And shot billards with a midget until the rain stopped
[01:15.46] And I bought a long-sleeved shirt with horses on the front
[01:19.11] And some gum and a lighter and a knife
[01:22.03] And a new deck of cards with girls on the back
[01:25.60] And I sat down and wrote a letter to my wife
[01:30.46] And I said baby, I'm so far away from home
[01:38.95] And I miss my baby so
[01:44.79] Well, I can't make it by myself
[01:48.72] I love you so
[01:55.51] And I was pacing myself
[01:57.91] Trying to make it all last
[02:00.43] Squeezing all the life out of a lousy-two day pass
[02:04.82] And I had a cold one at the Dragon
[02:07.28] With some Filipino floor show
[02:10.05] And I talked baseball with a lieutenant over a Singapore sling
[02:14.60] And I wondered how the same moon outside over this Chinatown fair
[02:19.79] Could look down on Illinois
[02:22.21] And find you there
[02:24.83] And you know I love you baby
[02:27.89] And I'm so far away from home
[02:31.37] I'm so far away from home
[02:34.95] And I miss my baby so
[02:39.60] I can't make it by myself
[02:44.56] I love you so
