The Bars of San Diego I like a man in uniform, she said to her co-workers The creases keep me warm He's just as forward as me, and by the time he'd be bored of me He's sailed off to the firestorm Itinerancy is the norm, so when I give him all of me There'll be no controversy In his dress whites he looked better In his dress whites he looked better He looked better than in the autumn Coming home in a box I like a cougar on a Friday, he told his commanding officer Packing up for shore leave holiday She's all about right now and right now is all I got Modern sailors don't tie knots Budweisers and shots ringing out from the register Always get the best of her In the barlight she looked better In the barlight she looked better She looked better that in the morning Driving him home in her car He said this is my final stand Before they send me to Bumfuckistan You'll be mine forever Forever is half an hour in the back of your sedan Will you keep it if it takes? She said I'm pretty sure I can At least he didn't die alone His friends gathered his limbs from the streets outside the Green Zone And she will never know She just waits for sailors when they go To the bars of San Diego
