STATESIDE GIRL (Robert J. Purvis and William Elliott)

There you go, here I am

Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?


Must you go, why can't you stay?

Leave it 'til another day

Your dreams will all come true one-by-one

Wait awhile, I'll help you by


Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?

[guitar solo]


Tell me, have you seen it all?

Found what you've been searchin' for?

Ever wish that you were back home?

Will they keep hold of you?


Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?

Stateside Girl, why not?
