On My Way lyrics

They were standin' by the side of the road

I could tell what was happenin' at a glance

From the look on her face as he spoke,

He was doin' the get-away dance,

The get-away dance

I meant to get out of my car

Tell her someday she'll laugh, lookin' back

But it might slow me down if she put up her guard

And I haven't got time for that

Time for that

'Cause I'm on my way

Though I don't know where I'm goin'

As soon as I get there, I will call

I'm on my way

But there is no way of knowin'

If I can get anywhere at all

Anywhere at all

The telephone rings in my head

Is somebody sendin' goodwill?

No, it's trucks in the distance instead

The screechin' of brakes in the hills

Brakes in the hills

The needy, the sick and the poor

Are waitin' for Jesus and me

They're forming a line leading right to my door

But Jesus is busy till 3

He's busy till 3

It's all up to me

So I'm on my way

Though I don't know where I'm goin'

As soon as I get there, I will call

I'm on my way

But there is no way of knowin'

If I can get anywhere at all

The road to hell, as we all know,

Is paved with good intentions1

You can't arrive unless you go

And did I mention....

I'm on my way

As soon as I get there, I will call

I'm on my way

But there is no way of knowin' 

If I can get anywhere at all

Anywhere at all

I'm on my way

I'm on my way
