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:

Taking it back

Taking it back

Taking it back
