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
