Get My Way
Toto · Other Songs - Toto
I'm so tired of running in somebody else's shoes
What's it all been for
What's the use of paying for somebody else's dues
I've been on the road for someone else's dreams
Now I'm trying to find my way back again
It's time to break some rules
And stop before the fire in me cools
Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And I'm going back where no one's been before
Some day
I'll show you something new
I've got my way
To try and wipe the tears from my eyes
I'm half scared to death
Think I'm right but what if I'm wrong
I've got one shot left
The door is open now but not long
The room's full of faces that I've never seen
Like a million pair of eyes looking down
The smoke is blinding me
But I can still see my destiny
Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And I'm going back where no one's been before
Some day
I'll show you something new
I've got my way
Of trying to wipe the tears from my eyes
(repeat chorus and fade)
