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
