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: TAKE ME BACK TO TOKYO ROAD
TAKE ME BACK TO TOKYO ROAD
SOLO
THIS GUY TURNS 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
AND 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: TAKE ME BACK TO TOKYO ROAD
TAKE ME BACK TO TOKYO ROAD
TAKE ME BACK TO TOKYO ROAD
TAKE ME BACK TO TOKYO ROAD
