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 living 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 living 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

Taking it back

Taking it back

Taking it back

Taking it back

Taking it back, Lord

Taking it back, all right

Taking it back

Taking it back
