I´ve been away so long I hardly knew the place It´s been too long since I´ve been around Just like I rolling stone I ain´t go no home
But my boys are back in town It´s been two long years that I´ve been on the run From lawyers, lovers, monies and a lawman´s son You though tit was the last you heard from me Well you better back up to catch up with me ´Cause I´m livin´ in the fast, speeding like a steam train Just before I fall, just before I fall off the track Chorus: Taking it back I´m taking it back Taking it back You took it away, took it away All I can say is we´re taking it back I´m the same old dog that I used to be The word´s all over town that you´ve been looking for me
I´m no different that I was before Give you what you need and then I´m out the door ´Cause I´m livin´ in the fast lane, coming like a hurricane A snake without a rattle, baby that´s a matter of fact Chorus: Taking it back Taking it back Taking it back You took it away, took it away All I can say is we´re taking it back
I´ve been away so long it´s good to see your face Barkeep, won´t you buy me a round? Raise a glass to the good times past Then we´ll tear this damn place down Chorus:
