Lyrics
About escaping a relationship that was just WRONG and was shaping up to be a prison sentence.
There's an unashamed southern country rock feel to this. that happens when ya live in Georgia for a few years y'all.
lyrics
I'm on my way.
© Duncan McLauchlan 1999
Verse 1.
I have to face the truth today, and just get up and walk away,
You tricked me.
I took your bait, line, sinker, hook, you reeled me in, with your good looks
And caught me.
Pre chorus.
Now I'm leaving and that's final, it would be plain suicidal to stay.
I'll cut the line on that mistake, I'll slip the hook and I'll escape, today.
Chorus
I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way.
No way _ I'm staying _ one more day.
Verse 2.
You promised me, the moon and earth, but hoodwinked me, and gave me dirt,
You duped me.
You fed me candy flavored lies, that sugar poison, I despise,
And hurt me.
Pre chorus
I saw right through that sweet disguise, you won't get a chance to use it again
I want out of this bad charade, I won't stay for one more day, end the pain.
Chorus
I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way.
No way _ I'm staying _ one more day.
Instrumental break.
Chorus
I'm on my way.
I'm on my way.
I'm on my way.
No way I'm staying
No way I'm staying
There's no way I'm staying, one more day.
Not one more day
Not one more day
Not one more day
Not one more day
