1460 Elder Street
Recorded by Red Sovine
Written by Bun Wilson and Doc Richardson

C F C
I was waiting for a ship to Vietnam
G7
And me being the good time loving guy I am
C F C
I was looking for some female company
F C G7 C
I met a girl alone and lonesome just like me

F C
We had coffee at a waterfront cafe
G7
She said her husband was a soldier far away
C F C
And she talked about her long nights all alone
F C G7 C
And the way she's fought temptation since he's gone

F C
1460 Elder Street is where she took me
F C G7
And I never knew that love could be so sweet
C F C
Then she promised me that when the war was over
F G7 C
I'd have a home at 1460 Elder Street

F C
Two months later I was on patrol one day
G7
When a hand grenade fell not ten feet away
C F C
I watched as one brave man gave all that he could give
F C G7 C
He fell across it gave his life that I might live

F C
I found a crumpled tear stained letter in his coat
G7
And I read the Dear John Letter his wife wrote
C F C
He had nothing left for livin' for I guess
F C G7 C
I thought I die when I saw her return address

F C
1460 Elder Street still drives me crazy
F C G7
And sometimes at night we find it hard to sleep
C F C
Could it be the ones who killed him now are sharing
F G7 C
Our private hell at 1460 Elder Street
