Made in Japan - Buck Owens
2:44
In the Palm of Your Hand, 1973
Written by Bob Morris and Faye Morris
The narrator of this song meets a girl in Japan who captivates him ("The beauty of her face was beyond my wildest dreams / Like cherry blossoms blooming in the mountain in the early spring"), but this intercontinental romance is not to be, and he must leave her: "That's when I left my heart with the girl made in Japan." It's a short but sweet story-song, tastefully done (flipping the expected script about a one night stand by a touring musician), with the guitar lines bending to mimic the sounds of traditional Japanese music.
