38 Special - Back on the Track lyrics

Bad reputation seems to be my style I've been categorized as a little wild The police took my photograph A hunted boy runnin' from his past Some even called me the devil's child At seventeen I was on my own Had the clothes on my back from a broken home Slapped in the face till my daddy got straight I knew it was time to run Now I'm back, back on the track again I'm back, I'm holdin' my own, I'm leadin' the pack I'm back from a shattered home and a living hell I'm back, back on the track First indication of trouble's up ahead I saw the flashing blues, I saw the color red A big commotion at the friendly store Found a poor man robbed and a kid at the door Guilty as charged or so the judge said I was sent to school to try to learn a trade But when the schoolboys laughed I became enraged I prayed to God that's the last mistake I'd made Now I'm back, back on the track again I'm back, I'm holdin' my own, I'm leadin' the pack I'm back from a shattered home and a living hell I'm back, back on the track Bad reputation, freedom's my desire I tried to clear my name, I came under fire A bad situation was a way of life With a cutthroat lawyer given bad advice The only hope I had was a prove liar It was win or lose out to clean the slate It was some big news when I made the break And I ran for years to avoid the state Another chance I was forced to take Now I'm back, back on the track again I'm back, I'm holdin' my own, I'm leadin' the pack I'm back from a shattered home and a living hell I'm back, back on the track again I'm back, back on the track again I'm back, I'm back on the track again
