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 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

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

Taking it back

Taking it back

Taking it back

Taking it back

Taking it back

Taking it back alright

Taking it back
