The Proclaimers - I'm on My Way

I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
Ah-hah (ah-hah) ah-hah (ah-hah)
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
Ah-hah (ah-hah) ah-hah (ah-hah)

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

Cause I only go down and stay away from Eden
I only go down and watch me do
I'm a whole lot of trouble in a itty-bitty skirt
The best kind of loving is the one that is new

I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
Ah-hah (ah-hah) ah-hah (ah-hah), yeah
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

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

Cause I only go down and stay away from Eden
I only go down and watch me do
I'm a whole lot of trouble in a itty-bitty skirt
The best kind of loving is the one that is new

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
Ah-hah (ah-hah) ah-hah (ah-hah), yeah
I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can
Ha-ah ha-ah ha-ah ha-ah

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

Cause I only go down and stay away from Eden
I only go down and watch me do
I'm a whole lot of trouble in a itty-bitty skirt
The best kind of loving is the one that is new

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
Ah-hah (ah-hah) ah-hah (ah-hah)
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

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

Cause I only go down and stay away from Eden
I only go down and watch me do
I'm a whole lot of trouble in a itty-bitty skirt
The best kind of loving is the one that is new

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

Cause I only go down and stay away from Eden
I only go down and watch me do
I'm a whole lot of trouble in a itty-bitty skirt
The best kind of loving is the one that is new

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
