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 whisky, drinking coke. 
It was a time when no-one would die, and there wasn't a care.

Sometimes I wish it was that way, 
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 into 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.
