In a time in a place In a world 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 land They said we'd fight for their freedom But I felt like 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 last It was a time to remember All my life I would never forget In a bar breathing smoke Snorting whiskey drinking coke It was a time when no one would 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 myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light And with a smile she got so close to me She whispered something 'bout midnight You know I didn't understand a word she said But it felt so good She knew that I didn't have any money But baby I knew she would Take me back to Tokyo Road Take me back to Tokyo Road Take me back to Tokyo Road
