[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I m thirty-two, I feel twenty-three
Got no husband next to me
I just wanna rock-n-roll
Scream out my lungs and burn real slow
[Chorus]
I ll take lonely if it means free
It s never how you thought it d be
But that record waited up for me
That record waited up
[Verse 2]
Six years ago, hope was nothin much
Wakin up to a stranger s touch
I gave up vodka, I chilled out on weed
That record still hung on to me
[Chorus]
I ll take lonely if it means free
It s never how you thought it d be
But that record waited up for me
That record waited up
[Bridge]
Lookin out a window pane
Wonderin why I still feel the same
I put the needle down, hey Mr. Young
You know our work is never done
[Break]
[Verse 3]
I saw that boy I loved so hard
He passed me in his beat-up car
Desire doesn t know it s wrong
So I came home and put the record on
[Verse 4]
I heard the backbeat, I sank into the groove
And suddenly I wasn t worried about you
I turned it up so loud that it buzzed my ears
And that s okay, cause I m the only one here
[Chorus]
I ll take lonely if it means free
It s never how you thought it d be
But that record waited up for me
That record waited up
[Outro]
That record waited up for me
That record waited up for me
