I told my Mama, I told my Pa, I can't live in this town at all
There was nothing for you, now there's nothing for me
There's so many things I think I need to see
If I get lost won't be too proud to say, will you show me
Won't you show me the way to go home
Won't you show me the way to go home
I've been so far, so long, so down, so wrong, so many things that I thought were so strong
Turned out to be just a mystery
Playin' us all like the fools we can be
So many years I've been fighting alone, will you show me
Won't you show me the way to go home
Won't you show me the way to go home
Now I'm an old man, I've done right and wrong, my time in this world sure ain't for long
I'm looking up and trying to see
Which way to go when I do leave
Lord won't you help me, find me a path, will you show me
Won't you show me the way to go home
Won't you show me the way to go home
Won't you show me the way to go home
Won't you show me the way to go home
Won't you show me the way to go home
