On My Way

If it looks like I’m up to something
It’s probably because I’m down to nothing
Standing in the turning lane
Watching cars zip by
Sun beats on my sweaty brow
Looking for a spot of shade to hide
That shower would be heavenly
But there’s no clouds in that sky
Got my whole life in this nap sack
A father won’t forgive so I can’t go back
La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da
Guess I’ll be alright
This man said that I got a bad reputation
But I never really cared what people say
No, I’m not big or smart or tough, a deep conversation
Just wanna do my things and be on my way
Now I’m on my way
Now I’m on my way
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
And it’s definitely not what it’s not, but
One thing for sure, it is what it is
These smelly clothes are full of hopes
And I fear I might get used to this
Another storefront, another parking lot
I put a thousand miles on these old shoes
My feet got blisters, they got brothers and sisters
They do everything my thumbs can’t do
We gon' find out place to settle down
But momma hates my face and don’t want me round
La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da
But I’m gon' be alright
This man said that I got a bad reputation
But I never really cared what people say
No, I’m not big or smart or tough, a deep conversation
Just wanna do my things and be on my way
Now I’m on my way
Now I’m on my way
Now I’m on my way
Now I’m on my way
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Shoo-bee-dap
Tell your mom I’m sorry
Tell your father I’m not mad
Kiss the baby for me
And tell him about his dad
