On my way, now I'm on my way
On my way, way back home
She stopped me dead in my tracks
You know you can't wait to love like that
Oh I've been a fool for sure
To ever think she'd come knocking at the door
Help me, help you
'Cause I need love and so do you
She was seventeen
What a beauty queen
On my way, way back home
We were wild and free down in soul country
On my way, way back home
Oh I've been a fool for sure
To ever think she'd come knocking at the door
Help me, help you
I need love and so do you
Help me, help you
I need love and so do you
It's undecided if I'll ever hold your gold
Lord knows I'm trying to leave you alone
But don't deny it, if it feels like home
I'm on my way, now I'm on my way
On my way, way back home
Help me, help you
'Cause I need love and so do you
And I lied one thousand times
When I said I didn't I miss you
You know it was all I can do
On my way, way back home
She stopped me dead in my tracks
You know you can't wait to love like that
Oh I've been a fool for sure
To ever think she'd come knocking at the door
Help me, help you
'Cause I need love and so do you
She was seventeen
What a beauty queen
On my way, way back home
We were wild and free down in soul country
On my way, way back home
Oh I've been a fool for sure
To ever think she'd come knocking at the door
Help me, help you
I need love and so do you
Help me, help you
I need love and so do you
It's undecided if I'll ever hold your gold
Lord knows I'm trying to leave you alone
But don't deny it, if it feels like home
I'm on my way, now I'm on my way
On my way, way back home
Help me, help you
'Cause I need love and so do you
And I lied one thousand times
When I said I didn't I miss you
You know it was all I can do
