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]
