"Journey to the Center of the Mind" - The Amboy Dukes (1968)

Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
Chorus:
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not
[repeat chorus]
But please realise
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back
[repeat chorus]
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind
(echo: the mind, the mind)

One of those bands that had a sound, IMO, that I thought would make them big. They had only this one hit, however. A psychedelic/hard rock sound. Ted Nugent was a member of the band.

Great song! They also did a cover of "Baby Please Don't Go", but I like Them's version better. "Journey to the Center of the Mind"? What could that be about?

[Ken]

A great tune!! Ted can sure play that guitar. I first heard the song back in the mid 80's.

[Dawn]

Great psychedelic rock! Love this one.

I remember this one when it was on the charts. It's always been a favorite. Great song.

[SAT-I need more room!!]

Still a classic!!

On the same album is one of the BEST song titles ever-Why is a Carrot More Orange Than an Orange? LMAO!!
