Styx - On My Way lyrics

"...everybody plays this one right, everybody gets a fresh, hot latte and a scone..."

Oh what a beautiful night

Couldn't get any clearer

Yeah what a wonderful sight

My old life in the rear view mirror

Hey now I'm travelin' light

Duffel bag and a six string

Yeah but it feels so right

To hear the bells of freedom ring

Gotta get away from

The same old same

Let a new day come

Start over again

Hey I was stuck in a grind

Little fish in a little pond

If I had a criminal mind

I'd have got myself a gun

Had to get away from

The ball and chain

Let a new day come

Or start goin' insane

I'm on my way

Don't know to where

But I'm gonna get there

On my way

Look at the world

With my brand new eyes

I can't believe I feel so high

I'm on my way tonight

Hey I was going to seed

Spreading out like a corn field

I had so much denial to feed

I was full of nothing real

I had to get away from

My old routine

Let a new day come

Start over again

I'm on my way

I don't know to where

But I'm gonna get there

On my way

Look at the world

Through my brand new eyes

I can't believe I get to feel

So good

So high tonight

Starting tonight

There will be

A revival

In my world

Turn on the lights

And you'll see

This one man band

Is now a symphony

And the sun

Is gonna shine

Like a summer time

That has no end

And the love

I will find

I have no doubt

That it will be mine

The love I find

Will all be mine

I had to get away while

I could still be saved

Let a new day come

Stop digging my grave

On my way...

I have faith

The road up ahead

Gonna get much easier

On my way

Look at me now

With a brand new life

I can't believe I feel so high

I'm on my way tonight

"...'scuse me, waitress, latte's and scones for everybody!..."
