On Your Way Home Songtext
von Patty Loveless

I heard you slippin down the hall
Tell me did your shadow trip and fall
Over you babe,
Movin that slowly.

Did you think you could waste my time
Come messin ′round with my mind,
Did you think you could?
Well you don't know me.

Where′d you get that alibi?
Did it fall out of the midnight sky
Or did you find it,
On the side of the road?

And tell me
Did you have to make a deal?
Or wrestle for control of the wheel
From your conscience, I'd like to know.
Where do you go?
On your way home.


You know some day I'd like to fly
Like a bat out of Nashville
Why don′t you help me?
And tell me the truth?

′Cuz the truth is gonna set you free
If you keep on lyin to me I might stay right here
Just to spite you.

Where'd you get that alibi?
Did it fall out of the midnight sky
Or did you find it,
On the side of the road?

And tell me
Did you have to make a deal?
Or wrestle for control of the wheel
From your conscience, I′d like to know.
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
On your way home.
On your way home.


Where'd you get that alibi?
Did it drop out of the midnight sky
Or did you find it,
Liein′ on the side of the road?

Was it ever a long long drive?
Did you ever stop once to cry?
Was I worth it?
I think I know.
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
Where do you go?
On your way home.
On your way home.
