I'M ON MY WAY BACK HOME
Intro
I've been away
For three long years
And seen the world
Within four walls
I've lived alone
With all my fears
Trapped within
These concrete halls
chorus and key change
But now my time is at an end
Don't want to be alone
Now I'm headed homeward bound
I'm on my way back home.
verse 1
Many nights I've cried alone
Locked within my cell
You alone stood be my
Helped me through this hell.
chorus etc
verse 2
I dreampt I lay within your arms
Your voice your lips your kiss
I hung on for three long years
It was always you I missed.
chorus etc
Verse 3
And now my dreams have all come true
And I hold you once again
And you will know it's always you
That can take away the pain
chorus etc
ONE DAY
One day I'll come
See you again
Stroke your face
Remember when
You may have gone
To him again
But you'll always be
More than a friend
chorus and key change
One day I'll come
I dream of that day
When you'll turn to me and say
I love you
If you'd only known
How I love you
You would have stayed
I know it's true
But I held back
I don't know why
I think of you
And I just cry
chorus etc
You'll never know
What you meant to me
You'll never know
How could you see
And you didn't know
You were the one
But I let you go
What have i done ?
AND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE
So one night I said to Kathy
We gotta get away somehow
Go somewhere south and somewhere warm
But for God's sake let's go now.
And Kathy she sort of looks at me
And asks where I wanna go
So I look back and I hear me say
I don't care but we gotta go
chorus and key change
And all the other people
Who slepwalk thru their days
Just sort of faded out of sight
When we two drove away
And ev'ry day we travelled
We were lookin' to get wise
And we learned what was the truth
And we learned what were the lies
And in LA we bought a bus
Sort of old and not too smart
So for six hundred and fifty bucks
We got out and made a start
We hit the road down to the South
And drove into Mexico
That old bus was some old wreck
But it just kept us on the road.
chorus etc
We drove up to Alabam
And a farmer gave us some jobs
We worked them crops all night and day
And at night we slept like dogs
We got paid and Kathy said to me
It's time to make a move again
And when I looked into her eyes
I saw more than a friend.
chorus etc
And now we've stopped our travels
And we sold the bus in Texas
And we made our home in Austin
And for sure it ain't no palace
And Kathy and me we settled down
And now our first kid's on the way
Kathy and me and that old bus
We did real good to get away.
SHE CAME ALONG TO SEE US PLAY
She came along to see us play
Then hung around, wouldn't go away
Said she'd got nowhere to stay
Sayed with me 'till the next day.
chorus and key change
Sometimes the ways of life are strange
I guess I was rady for a change
And you came along when I was low
And now I won't let you go
[Baby]
My one thought was to get laid
But you came along and you stayed
And it turned out you were the one
Who I'd looed for for oh so long
chorus etc
Another town another date
Another strange and lonely place
A hotel room's no place to be
Unless you are here with me.
chorus etc
HAPPY
Happy cheeky little boys
They all need their little toys
Cheeky sassy little girls
Want the boys to see their curls
chorus and key change
And we all play the game
And we all play the same
We're happy when we play
So we play our lives away
Naughty sneaky little boys
Must have their little joys
Dirty flirty little girls
Want to get their gold and pearls.
chorus etc
Happy cheerful little men
Worked to death and what then
Sad little older women
Sleep alone what a living
chorus etc
