I've been livin' my life like a man in chains

Ever since she took her love away

But this is now and that was then

And baby all bad things gotta come to an end

Chorus:

So tonight I'm throwing caution into the wind

Getting down to the business of living again

Back in the saddle and I'm holding the reins

Gonna find someone and love her

Like there ain't no yesterday

Now, it's dark as a dungeon down where I've been

And there ain't no way I'm going back again

I've got my best foot forward on to greener grass

'Cause there ain't no future living in the past

Repeat Chorus

Out of the ashes, alive and free

No longer a slave to a memory

Got the rest of my life right out in front of me

Repeat Chorus
