Journey

Driving down the road you swear you've been before
Day dreaming about the days gone by
Faces and places that you're missing from your life
Disappear like ghosts in the night
You wonder how you made it through your high school days
Trying anything to get you high
Hanging out at the pool hall by the old arcade
Cold beer and fake IDs on Friday night

The song comes on the radio
Something that you used to know
Sounds of familiar sounds so right

Let it take you back
To a simpler place in time
Where the melody reminds you
Of a love you left behind
Let the music move you
Until you feel like letting letting go
Like a postcard from the past
Let it take you back

When record stores sold 33s and 45s
Couldn't wait to hold the album in my hand
Before email and the internet
How I stood in line
To buy tickets just to see my favorite band

The rhythm that still gets to you
You have a flash of deja-vu
You listen to the soundtrack of your life

Let it take you back
To a simpler place in time
Where the melody reminds you of a love you left behind
Let the music move you
Until you feel like letting letting go
Like a postcard from the past
Let it take you back

Yeah!

And we'd climb into the backseat of my Chevrolet
Smoking cigarettes and singing songs
Didn't have a worry, didn't have a care
I wonder where the innocence is gone

The song comes on the radio
Something that you used to know
Sounds so familiar sounds so right

Let it take you back
To a simpler place in time
Where the melody reminds you of a love you left behind
Let the music move you
Until you feel like letting letting go
Like a postcard from the past
Let it take you back

Oh!

Let it take you back
Where emotions start to flow
You come to your senses
Cause its only rock and roll
Like a faded photograph
Let it take you back

Yeah!

Let it take you back
Oh, let it take you back
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Do you remember!

Let it take you back

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
