Stateside Lyrics

The Japany's moon is bright tonight and Tokio 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
Sat awhile and look around get up and leave and walk the town
I wanna go stateside oh Lord I wanna go stateside
[ guitar + piano ]
Giashy 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 and say a man won'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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
