I'm On My Way

The Proclaimers

I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I'm on my way to what
I want from this world
And years from now
You'll make it to the next world
And everything that
You receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me
The day I wandered

I took a right, I took a right
Turning yesterday
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Yeah, I took a right
I took a right turning yesterday

I took the road that brought me
To your home town
I took the bus to streets
That I could walk down
I walked the streets to find
The one I'd looked for
I climbed the stair that
Led me to your front door

And now that
I don't want for anything
I'd have Al Joison sing
"I'm sitting on top of the world"

I'll do my best
I'll do my best
To do the best I can
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Oh, I'll do my best
I'll do my best
To do the best I can

To keep my feet from
Jumping from the ground
Dear
To keep my heart from
Jumping through my mouth
Dear
To keep the past, the past
And not the present
To try and learn when
You teach me a lesson

And now that
I don't want for anything
I'd have Al Joison sing
"I'm sitting on top of the world"

I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Yeah, I'm on my way from
Misery to happiness today

I'm on my way to
What I want from this world
And years from now
You'll make it to the next world
And everything that
You receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me
The day I wandered

I'm on my way to what
I want from this world
And years from now
You'll make it to the next world
And everything that
You receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me
The day I wandered

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
