A #1 song in 2 days! A bouncy pop song reminiscing about my hometown of Brooklyn, NY, and recalling certain places and activities of my younger days.
Take Me Back To Brooklyn
Words and music by Jayson Dyall 2023
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I belong
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I call home
I miss my childhood friends, and childhood memories
Was a special place back then, it's where I long to be
In my life, I have moved around
And I had gone from town to town
But nowhere felt like home to me
So detached from reality
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I belong
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I call home
I miss the store on the corner, the block I played stickball at
The street music performers, nothing was better than that
The pizza joint where we all hanged out
Where dreams and plans began to sprout
The first kiss with my first true love
There's only one place I'm thinking of
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I belong
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I call home

Back to the place where I was born
Back where my first rock band was formed
Where I first became a man
If you know, you'd understand
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I belong
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I call home
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I belong
Take me back to Brooklyn, that's where I call home....
