Grab your coat, honey, grab your hat 

This train is leaving and it ain't comin' back 

Don't need a ticket, can't you understand 

You're on your way to the promised land. 



It's overdue but now the time is right, yeah 

It's up to you to make it real, so take me, 

Take me back to paradise 

(oooh) 

Take me back to paradise 

(oooh) 



Old Saint Peter at the pearly gate 

said hurry up boy or you're gonna be late 

Take your mind off your worries for a moment or two 

You gotta rock to the rhythm, it ain't hard to do 



Cause what you see I know you're gonna like, yeah 

It's up to you to make it real, so take me, 

Take me back paradise, paradise 

(oooh yeah) 

Take me back to paradise, paradise 

(oooh) 



SOLO 



When its out of reach it's just another beach in another town 

You get your feet back on the ground 

You worked all your life you ain't satisfied with a thing you've found 

When will you realize it'll come around? 



Pack your bags, baby, get your things 

You never know what tomorrow brings 

Mind your step and watch what you say 

Before you know you'll be on your way 



It's overdue but now the time is right, yeah 

It's up to you to make it real, so take me, 

Take me back to paradise, paradise 

(oooh) 

Take me back to paradise, paradise 

(oooh) 

Take me back to paradise, paradise 

(oooh) 

Won't you take me back to paradise, paradise 

(oooh) 

Take me back to paradise
