Back in Black is a song by AC/DC and the titular musical piece of their album of the same title. It is widely considered their most famous song ever. The song was written as a tribute to Bon Scott. Malcom Young created the main riff and used it as a warm up before concerts but thought it was too heavy to include on an album, but Angus convinced him to keep it.

AC DC - Back in Black

Lyrics[]

Back in black, I hit the sack
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose from the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky, 'cause it's getting me high
Forget the hearse, 'cause I never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
Abusing every one of them and running wild

'Cause I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

Back in the back of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang with a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beating the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now, I'm just making my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way

'Cause I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

Well, I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Take my love
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
Ooh yeah

Well, I'm back (I'm back)
Back (I'm back)
Back (I'm back)
Back (I'm back)
Back (I'm back)
Back, back in black
Yes, I'm back in black

I've hit the sack
