Lyrics

On My Way
(1997)
by Brian Quigley

Woke up this morning;
Yesterday's gone.
I'm somewhere between
Daylight and dawn.
I've got myself a ticket
For this one-way ride.
Don't know where I'm going,
But I'm sure 'nough on my way there.

Somewhere along the way
I met a girl named Sam.
She listened to the things I was trying to say.
Asked her to join me
On a one-way ride.
Even though she lived
On the other side of town.

Chorus:
Don't know which way to turn sometimes.
Seems there's too many secrets, too many lies.
I may not know where I'm going, though I'm well on my way.
Sammy won't you walk with me the rest of the way.

Woke up this morning,
Devil at my side,
Dressed like an angel,
Though I stayed for awhile.
Punched my ticket
For this one-way ride.
Don't know where I'm going,
Just a little farther along the way.

(chorus)
