Verse 1
Left my hometown back in '79
Big silver bird helped me leave it all behind
My old high school dissapeared from the sky
Stared out the window waved goodbye and just cried
Friday nights at the Keystone Track
Close my eyes my heart always takes me back
Chorus
Take me back
Verse 2
Took my Trans Am
On a hot summer drive
Rockin at the Decade the band was so tight
At the Chess Arena watch the girls roll by
Hangin’ out at the Pizza Palace later that night
Drinkin’ beer with the boys on the tracks close my eyes my mind always takes me back
Chorus
Bridge
Ohhh baby we were young and awkward then
Friends till the end
The radio saved our lives
Made everything seem alright
Oh ya………………….
Ya, ya, ya
Ya know it seemed so right
Take me back
Take me back
Oh ya ya ya ya
When it all seemed so right
Breakdown
Seemed so right
Take me back
Chorus
CODA
Those were the days when the music meant so much
Livin’ in these times man, things are always kinda rough
Take me back
Take me back
When it was just about the love
Just about the love
