The Proclaimers - I'm on My Way (live in Leith)

 The Proclaimers - I'm on My Way

I'm on my way
 From misery to happiness today
 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 took a right
 I took a right turning yesterday
 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 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
 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 Jolson sing
 "I'm sitting on top of the world"

I'm on my way
 From misery to happiness today
 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
