[Verse 1]
I used to be so free and easy
When I was a younger man
Hundred dollars in my pocket
Never gonna work again
And don't just give me the money
And I never did find an act
When one hand held a paycheck the other one take it back
[Chorus]
Take me back
I was much too young to know take me back
It was a long long time ago
Take me back
I swear that I have changed take me back
[Verse 2]
Icy kinda feeling racing down my spine
May lightning strike me down before your lies find a line
They say that the gra** is greener over on the other side
If that's true I've never seen you better believe I tried
[Chorus]
Take me back
I was much too young to know take me back
It was a long long time ago
Take me back
I swear that I have changed take me back
Take me back
[Verse 3]
I had a sad time again said by better man
The road to hell is paved with good intention
You were right I was wrong I loved you all along
They say the youth is wasted on the young
[Chorus]
I used to be so free and easy
When I was a younger man
Hundred dollars in my pocket
Never gonna work again
And don't just give me the money
And I never did find an act
When one hand held a paycheck the other one take it back
[Outro]
Take me back
I was much too young to know take me back
It was a long long time ago
Take me back
I swear that I have changed take me back
Take me back
