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      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
