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 Taking it back
