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 pa**
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
