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      [Chorus]   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      [Chorus]      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...      [Chorus]
