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
