Lyrics
BACK TO CLEVELAND
V1
When you're sick of all the schemin'& you lost all your dreamin'
& you're runnin' from the demons that are still in your heart
When your spirit is chokin'
All the lies have been spoken
& your heart has been broken & you need a new start
When you're tired of the lyin' & you feel like you're dyin' & you keep on tryin' but it falls apart
When you're sick of where you're livin' - the hand you've been given
& you can't seem to fit in then it's time!
You gotta - Take it back to Cleveland
CHORUS
Take it to Cleveland Where everybody feels the same
Take it to Cleveland Where they still remember your name
Take it to Cleveland Oh baby just get on that train
And take it back to Cleveland
V2
Now you got the idea - Tell those people "Hey I'll see ya"
Come on back to Berea - Back to Cleveland Heights
Are you serving a sentence & you need some transcendence
Come on back to Independence - Back to Pepper Pike
If it's all becoming lucid & the place you live is stupid
Come on back to South Euclid - Back to Shaker Heights
If you feel your life's been stolen then get up and get rollin'And come on back to Solon 'cuz it's time!
You gotta - Take it back to Cleveland
CHORUS 2
Take it to Cleveland Where everybody feels the same
Take it to Cleveland Where they still remember your name
Take it to Cleveland Oh baby just get on that plane - And take it back to Cleveland
REPEAT CHORUS 1
Outro Lyrics
If where you live makes you quiver & it gives you a shiver
Come on back to Rocky River - Back to Willoughby
If those people are a pain & they make you insane
Come on back to Lorain - Back where you should be
If you're feelin' bad karma - Sonar la alarma
& come on back to Parma cuz it's time
To take it back to Cleveland (4x)
