Back in Black lyrics:
Back in black, I hit the sack
It's been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes I am getting loose, from the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I been living like a star, cause it's getting me high
Forget the hearse, cause I’ll never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
Losin' everyone of them and runnin' wild

Cause I'm back, yes I'm back, well I'm back
Yes I'm back, well I’m back, back
Well, back in black, yes I'm back in black

Back in the back of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes I am, in a bang with the gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beating the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now, I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way

Cause I'm back, yes I'm back, well I'm back
Yes I'm back, well I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black, yes I'm back in black

Well I'm back, yes I'm back
Well I'm back, yes I'm back
Well I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black, yes I'm back in black
Well I'm back, back
Well I'm back, back
Well I'm back, back
Back, Back
Back in Black, yes I'm back in black

Outta sight
