[English]

Where's the guy in the steel toes covered in dirt?

Just a rock 'n' roll t-shirt, headed to work

With a pack of Red Man in his pocket

He's kind of red, man but he's rockin'

Where's the beat up Tele and the Marshall Stack?

Little Marshall Tucker and a six-pack

Where's the good ol' boys and the good ol' days

Straight up gettin' sideways

We back, we back, we back in the speakers

Back in black getting blasted in the bleachers

It's probably true what my momma said

I do it just like my daddy did

We back, we back, we back in the saddle

Back on stage making the whole place rattle

Back with the A-Team, train on the track

Thought we were gone but you wrong, now it's on, we back

...

Where's the chick wearin' blue jeans a little too tight?

Got a grip on a Koozie if it's what she likes

Getting picked up in a pickup

And kickin' it with guys like us

We back, we back, we back in the speakers

Back in black getting blasted in the bleachers

It's probably true what my momma said

I do it just like my daddy did

We back, we back, we back in the saddle

Back on stage making the whole place rattle

Back with the A-Team, train on the track

Thought we were gone but you wrong, now it's on, we back

...

Sun comes up and sun goes down, yeah

Everything good comes back around

We back

We back

Yeah we back, we back, we back in the speakers

Back in black getting blasted in the bleachers

It's probably true what my momma said

I do it just like my daddy did

We back, we back, we back in the saddle

Back on stage making the whole place rattle

Back with the A-Team, train on the track

Thought we were gone but you wrong, now it's on, we back

We back

We back

Thought we were gone but you wrong, now it's on

We back (we back)

(We back)

It's probably true what my momma said

We back, we back, we back in the saddle

Back on stage making the whole place rattle

Back with the A-Team, train on the track

Thought we were gone but you wrong, now it's on, we back
