38 Special
Back to Paradise
[Verse 1]
Grab your coat, honey, grab your hat
This train is leavin', and it ain't comin' back
Don't need a ticket, can't you understand
You're on your way to the promised land

[Pre-Chorus]
It's overdue, but now the time is right, yeah
It's up to you to make it real, so take me

[Chorus]
Take me back to paradise, ooh
Oh, take me back to paradise, ooh

[Verse 2]
Old Saint Peter at the pearly gate
Sayin', "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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause what you see, I know you're gonna like, yeah
It's up to you to make it real, to take me

[Chorus]
Take me back to paradise, (Paradise) ooh
Oh yeah, take me back to paradise, (Paradise) ooh
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
Ooh, when it's outta reach, it's just another beach
In another town
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?

[Verse 3]
Pack your bags, baby, get your things
You'll never know what tomorrow brings
Mind yourself and watch what you say
Before you know, you'll be on your way

[Pre-Chorus]
It's overdue, but now the time is right, yeah
It's up to you to make it real, so take me

[Chorus]
Take me back to paradise, (Paradise) ooh
Uh huh, take me back to paradise, (Paradise) ooh

[Chorus]
Take me back to paradise, (Paradise) ooh
Won't you take me back to paradise, (Paradise) ooh
[Outro]
Ooh, take me back to paradise
