[Intro:]
  He's back our old dear friend
  The crack of her whip won't be heard again
  And so now we'll sing (sing)
  To him and what he has been through
    [Chorus:]
    Back to where it all began
  Back to where we used to stand
  Back to the boys the benders all again
  Back to drinking with his friends
  Back to forgetting to ring them back
  Back to laughing all about that
  Back to taking your pride right off her shelf
  Back to doing it yourself
      When we're together we're still now still alone
  Your woman is who you're with calling you on the phone
  Excuses broad excuses you use to ease your mind
  It didn't take long n*o it didn't take long to steal your mind
    I remember when in 82 when we were half of ten
  You didn't care about the pair you were fair now do it again
  And now you're caught and now your mind is all forgot
  She's packed your bags you're on the boat I'm watching from the dock
    [Chorus]
    As the rope gets tighter as the rope takes another pull
  I see your breath get short *no more breath and now you fall
  Long since long since the decision has been yours
  It makes no sense the sense you make now who's it for
    I know what you wanna be I know what you have to be
  I know that when you chose this world this time your mind it can't be free
  But I know yu feel the sting and I know just one more thing
  Well now you're back and it's a fact so let's get up get up and sing. . .
    [Chorus]
