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 !@%!e
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]
