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
