My Love Is in New York

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
