I’ve been away so long, I knew the place It’s been too long since I’ve been around Just like I rolling stone, I ain’t got no home But my boys are back in town, kick it
It’s been two long years that I’ve been on the run From lawyers, lovers, monies and a lawman’s son You thought it was the last you heard from me Well, you better back up to catch up with me
‘Cause I’m livin’ in the fast lane Speeding like a steam train Just before I fall, just before I fall off the track
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, yeah
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
