[Verse 1]
The signs of departure were outlaw red
Needed someplace where I could clear my head
Understood the message I was ready to go
Revved my engines and I'm out the door

[Chorus]
Been away but I'm coming back
Been away but I'm coming back

[Verse 2]
A lot of tight turns on a neon trip
Down into the corridors of '66
Flash dogs pasted in magazines
More to life than anyone sees

[Chorus]
Been away but I'm coming back
Been away but I'm coming back

[Verse 3]
Yeah, has-beens, could-be, might-have-beens
Going down the drains of false pretense
Finally got the message and it's making sense
The grass is green on both sides of the fence
[Chorus]
Been away but I'm coming back
Been away but I'm coming back
