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

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

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,

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
