Notes
1460 Elder Street. Country. "I was waiting on a ship to Vietnam and me being the good time loving guy I am / I was looking for some female company I met a girl alone and lonesome just like me / We had coffee at a waterfront cafe she said her husband was a soldier far away / And she talked about her long nights all alone / And the way she's fought temptation since he's gone / 1460 Elder Street is where she took me / And I never knew that love could be so sweet / Then she promised me that when the war was over / I'd have a home at 1460 Elder Street / Two months later I was on patrol one day / Wh [From Justin A.
