Takin’ It

I was standing on the corner alone
In the middle of the night
In the heart of the city's soul
I was runnin', puttin' all my luck on the line
In the middle of my life
With a million miles behind me

I know I can't run forever
Only time hopes to find me an answer
Oh, I know there's freedom here for the taking
And I'm takin' it before someone takes mine

Well, someone tried to take me for a ride
In the middle of the street
Where there ain't no place to hide
Selling anything that money can buy
In the middle of deceit
Aimed right between my eyes

Oh, I know I can't run forever
Only time hopes to find me an answer
Oh, I know there's freedom here for the taking
And I'm takin' it before someone takes mine

Oh, I, I know I can't run forever
Only time hopes to find me the answer
Oh, I, I know there's freedom here for the taking
And I'm takin' it before someone takes mine
