見渡すかぎり… (miwatasu kagiri…)

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wish it was that way
'Cause sometimes I have to get away

[Chorus]
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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, aw-huh
And with a smile she got so close to me
She whispered something 'bout midnight
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]
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
