[Verse 1]
I been away so long, I hardly knew the place
It' been too long since I been around
Just like a rollin' stone, I ain't got no home
But my boys are back in town, kick it

[Verse 2]
It's been two long years that I been on the run
From lawyers, lovers, monies, and a lawman son
Thought it was the last that you heard from me
Well, you better back up to catch up with me, 'cause I'm

[Pre-Chorus]
Livin' in the fast lane
Speedin' like a steam train
Just before I fall, just before I fall off the track

[Chorus]
Takin' it back
Oh, I'm takin' it back
Takin' it back
You took it away, took it away
All I can say
Is we're takin' it back

[Verse 3]
I'm the same ol' dog that I used to be
The word's all over town that you been lookin' for me, I'm
No different than I was before
Give you what you need and then I', out the door, 'cause I'm
[Pre-Chorus]
Livin' in the fast lane
Comin' like a hurricane
A snake without a rattle
Baby, that's a matter of fact
Yeah

[Chorus]
Takin' it back
Takin' it back
Takin' it back
You took it away, took it away
All I can say
Is we're takin' it back

[Post-Chorus]
Here we go!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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]
Takin' it back
Takin' it back
Takin' it back
Takin' it back
Takin' it back, oh
Takin' it back
Alright
Takin' it back
Takin' it back
