[Verse 1]
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 plan
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
[Chorus]
Take me back, Tokyo Road
Take me back, Tokyo Road
[Verse 2]
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
Snortin' whiskey, drinkin' coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
[Chorus]
Take me back, Tokyo Road
Take me back, Tokyo Road
Take me back, Tokyo Road
Take me back, Tokyo Road
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
This guy turns me around and he's pointin' toward the stairs
Found myself in her doorway, there wasn't anybody there
Then she walked in the room with nothin' on but a red light, uh-huh
She smiled, she got so close to me, she whispered something 'bout midnight
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]
Take me back, Tokyo Road
Take me back, Tokyo Road
Take me back, Tokyo Road
Take me back, Tokyo Road
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Take me back
Well konnichiwa, Tokyo
Alright
I'm gonna need everybody to help me out tonight 'cause it's gonna be hot
We're all gettin' filmed for the movies, we're all gonna be on TV
Now you gotta show everybody how good you can sing
Sing like this, go, "Woah-oh, oh-woah, oh"
Woah-oh, oh-woah, oh
Woah-oh, oh-woah, oh
Woah-oh, oh-woah, oh
Woah-oh, oh-woah, oh
Woah-oh, oh-woah, oh
