Lyrics
On My Way Home
Michael Lewis
I walk along these tracks trying to find my way home
I walk these railroad tracks, trying to find my way home
I've got the blues here with me and I never feel alone
I meet new friends along the way, they give me water to drink
I meet new friends along the way, they give me water to drink
I used to write down their names but my pen ran out of ink
I just keep going, walking and moving along
I keep going, walking and moving along
I just keep going, walking and moving along
I need to keep going, walking and moving along
When my legs get tired I sit down and sing this 'ol blues song.
I glide along these tracks now on my way home
Right by the railroad tracks, now I'm on my way home
Might take more than a day like when they built the city of Rome
I keep going, walking and moving along
I keep going, walking and moving along
I just keep going, walking and moving along
Gotta keep going, walking and moving along
I'm on my way home now, got the blues and a smile
I'm on my way home now, walking mile after mile
I walk for miles and miles and miles
I walk for miles and I've got a smile
I've got the blues and a smile and now...
You've got this song
