Lyrics

I’m on my way from mis er y to hap pi ness to day.

Uh huh (uh huh), uh huh (uh huh).

I’m on my way from mis er y to hap pi ness to day.

Uh huh (uh huh), uh huh (uh huh).

I’m on my way to (C)what I want from this world.

And years from now, you’ll (C)make it to the next world.

And ev ’ry thing that (C)you re ceive up yon der is what you gave to (D7)me the day I wan dered.

I took a right, I took a right to turn and yes ter day.

Uh huh (uh huh), uh huh (uh huh), yeah.

I took a right, I took a right to turn and yes ter day,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I took the road that (C)brought me to your home town.

I took the bus to (C)streets that I could walk down.

I walk the streets to (C)find the one I’d looked for.

I climbed the stair that (D7)led me to your front door.

And now that (D)I don’t want for (G)an y thing

(ooh),

I’ll have Al Jol son sing, “I’m (G)sit ting on top of the world.”

I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can.

Uh huh (uh huh), uh huh (uh huh), yeah.

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

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

to keep my feet from (C)jump in’ from the ground, dear; to keep my heart from (C)jump in’ through my mouth, dear; to keep the past, the (C)past and not the pres ent; to try and learn when (D7)you teach me a les son.

And now that (D)I don’t want for (G)an y thing

(ooh),

I’ll have Al Jol son sing, “I’m (G)sit ting on top of the world.”

(D)me the day I wan dered.

I’m on my way.

I’m on my way.
