Lyrics Taking It Back - Bon Jovi

Taking It Back

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 have 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
Because 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
Because 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
