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 riens
Gonna find someone and love her
Like there ain't no yesterday

Now its dark as a dungeon down here 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
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
(to upper chorus)
