Artist/Band: Proclaimers
Lyrics for Song: I'm On My Way
Lyrics for Album: The Best of The Proclaimers 1987-2002 [2002]



I'm on my way from misery to happiness today

Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha

I'm on my way from misery to happiness today

Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha

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

Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha

Yeah I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday

Yeh, Yeh, Yeh, Yeh

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 Jolson 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

Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha

I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can

ha, ha, ha, an

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 Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world".



I'm on my way from misery to happiness today

Aha, Aha, Aha, Aha

Yeah I'm on my way from misery to happiness today

Yeh, Yeh, Yeh, Yeh

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 give to me the day I wonder

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 give to me the day I wonder



I'm on my way


I'm On My Way
