The Amboy Dukes were formed in 1964 in Chicago, Illinois & were later based out of Detroit, Michigan. They were known as the American Amboy Dukes in the UK as not to conflict with a British band of the same name. Their only big hit was their first single, "Journey to the Center of your Mind," which reached the top-20 on both sides of the Atlantic. The Dukes went through many lineup changes through the 1960's with the only constant being lead guitarist & composer Ted Nugent.
FAVORITE SONG: Journey to the Center of Your Mind
LYRICS: Journey to the Center of Your Mind
Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
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
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
But please realize
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
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see
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
