[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 for me

[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 for me

[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

[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

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 for me

[Outro] That record waited up for me
That record waited up for me
That record waited up for me
That record waited up for me
That record waited up for me
That record waited up for me
