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

[ fiddle ]

Two months later I was on patrol one day

When a hand grenade fell not ten feet away

I watched as one brave man gave all that he could give

He fell across it gave his life that I might live

I found a crumpled tear stained letter in his coat

And I read the Dear John Letter his wife wrote

He had nothing left for livin' for I guess

I thought I die when I saw her return adress

1460 Elder Street still drives me crazy

And sometimes at night we find it hard to sleep

Could it be the ones who killed him

Now are sharing our private hell at 1460 Elder Street
