Back in black, I hit the sack
I've been too long
I'm glad to be back
Yes I'm let loose from the noose
That's kept me hangin' about
I been livin like a star 'cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse, 'cause I never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
Abusing every one of them and running wild
'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black!
Back in a band, I got cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes I'm in a band with a gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another trap
So look at me now, I'm just a makin' my pay
Don't try to push your luck
Just get outta my way
'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yeah, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black!
Let's go!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black-ow!
Aww yeah! Let's go!
Keep on goin'! Yeah yeah!
Yeah aww yeah yeah!
Here we go!
Well, I'm baaack (I'm back!)
Baaack (well, I'm back!)
Baaack (I'm back!)
Baaack (I'm back!)
Baaack (I'm back!)
Baaack
Yes, back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
Outta sight!
