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

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, ooh
Uh huh, take me back to paradise, ooh

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

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

Take me back to paradise, paradise, oh yeah, ooh
Take me back to paradise, paradise, ooh, oh yeah

Ooh, when it's outta 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, yeah?

Pack your bags, baby get your things
You'll 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, uh huh, ooh
Take me back to paradise, paradise, ooh
Take me back to paradise, paradise, ooh
Won't you take me back to paradise, paradise, ooh?
Oh, take me back to paradise
