Baby still looks like you're on your way to china
China, chi-nay, far away
Baby said how long you gonna stay in china
China, chi-nay, far away

I said I'll be back as soon as I can from china
China, chi-nay, far away
I said babe I hope you understand about china
China, chi-nay, far away

I'm walkin' with my baby but man I'm in china
China, chi-nay, far away
I'm talkin' with my baby but mmm I'm in china
China, chi-nay, far away

I come in on the run from china
China, chi-nay, far away
I tried to hug my baby some, she's in china
China, chi-nay, far away

O maybe somewhere down the line O china
China, chi-nay, far away
We'll get back the same time from china
China, chi-nay, far away

Baby said looks like you're on your way to china
China, chi-nay, far away
Baby said how long you gonna stay in china
China, chi-nay, far away

Not one of his better songs - he does have some really nice folk music however.
Am I crazy or is this a song about heroin?  That's the only sense I could make of the lyrics. And it's an annoying song too.{#Skull}

apparently not far enough
What a repetitive and annoying song. I know what awful melody is going to be cycling through my head all day at work...

how many times can YOU say China in 3 minutes?


stop saying that
please don't ever play this song again....ever

Can you sing far far away?
Ain't no use in calling out my name babe...
Vocals remind me a bit of Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits Making Movies era...especially the tune "Skateaway"
