Artist/Band: Ry Cooder
Lyrics for Song: Going Back To Okinawa
Lyrics for Album: 3 For 1 Box Set [2000]



(Ry Cooder)

Goin' back down to Okinawa

Sorry, baby, but I can't take you

You better stay at home in California

There's nothing over there that you can do

Goin' back down to Okinawa

Ain't gonna do me like you've done before

They treat me like a king down in Okinawa

And I may never come back no more

It's just an island floating in the sun

Everybody is having so much fun

Pretty mamas laying in the sand

Sure to know how to treat your man

Okinawian baby, won't you come by me ?

Sun going down in the China Sea



Making love on the beach all night

Okinawa moon is shining so bright

Folks in Okinawa sure have fun

They get together when the working day is done

Drinking cheap wine. and making romance

While some old man's doing the Okina dance

Back in the days of World War II

Fought against the Japanese like me and you

Everybody's worried 'bout World War III

Okinawa's just the place where I'm gonna be

Going back to Okinawa

Sorry, but I can't take you

Never coming back no more, baby
