My Love Is in New York

Sabá

Joined the Service Out of School in the Year of '69
When the Doors Were Ridin' On the Storm, Hendrix Was Alive
And Before I Could Blink An Eye, I Was Sent to Vietnam
To Teach Them People Democracy
Jesus, What a Laugh.

All Across the Highlands, We Moved in Single File
Lookin' For Them Vietcong, I Musta Crawled a 1000 Miles
But I'd Only One Thought On Me Mind,
'twas Your Eyes of Emerald Green
My Love Is in New York, Oh She's the Only One For Me

I Learned to Smoke the Opium Pipe, I Learned It All Too Well
Coz When the Shells Are Bangin' in Your Ears
It Stops That Livin' Hell
Then One Night 6 Months Later
While in the Dmz
Me Own Dear U.s. Air Force Blew the Hell Right Out of Me

Still I Loved My Country
I Saluted the Old Flag
When You're a Boy From Woodside, Queens
You Give It All You Have
'cause I Knew You'd Be There Waitin'
With Your Eyes of Emerald Green
My Love Is in New York and She's the Only One For Me

But When I Got Sent Home At Last, They Jeered and Spat At Me
They Called Me a Fascist, Said I Was the Enemy
I Could've Put Up With All of That
'twas no Big Thing to Me
But You Killed Me With One Look of Disgust
From Those Emerald Greens

Now I Sit Down Here On Broadway, This Pavement Is Me Home
The War Is Long Forgotten, For Those Who Stayed At Home
And I Wish I Had Me Opium Pipe
To Stop That Livin' Hell
That's Goin' On Inside Me Head, I Wish It All So Well
And the Doors Still Ride By On the Storm
Hendrix Hides From Joe
I Should Be History Around Here But Where Else Is There to Go
Coz I Know You're Out There Somewhere,
With Your Eyes of Emerald Green
My Love Is in New York, Oh She's the Only One For Me
