Beside the cottonfield I was born underneath the tree was my home
A flock of geese flew overhead
Wind from the wings fall down to me come go with us that's my way
It grieves me much to see you cry I'll break a heart with my goodbye
I warned you ahead of time
I could never say I'm sorry but it has to be that's my way
That's my way to try to find a place I've never been
Before directions master me and distance is my friend
I try to put a lifetime into each and every day that's my way
I yearn to love but it can't be for fear of what's inside of me
With the each day setting of the sun
A passin' train stirs my soul like winds of long ago that's my way
That's my way that's my way that's my way
