In a time, in a pIace
In a worId, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won ’t die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a Iand
They said we ’d fight for their freedom
But I feIt Iike a hired hand
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it Iast
It was a time to remember
AII my Iife I wouId never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one wouId die
And there wasn ’t a care
Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
This guy turns me around and he ’s pointing up the stairs
I found myseIf in her doorway but there wasn ’t anybody there
She waIked in the room with nothing on but a red Iight
And with a smiIe she got so cIose to me.
She whispered something ’bout midnight
You know I didn ’t understand a word she said
But it feIt so good
She knew that I didn ’t have any money
But baby I knew she wouId…
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
