ON YOUR WAY HOME
(Matraca Berg / Ronnie Samoset)


Patty Loveless - 2003
Pryor Dawson Rayburn - 2007



I heard you slippin' down the hall
Tell me, did your shadow trip an' fall
Over you, babe, movin' that slowly
Did you think you could waste my time
Come a-messin' round with my mind
Did you think you could, you don't know me 

Where'd you get that alibi
Did it fall out of a 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, someday, I'd like to fly
Like a bat outta Nashville 
Why don't you help me
An' tell me the truth
'Cause 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
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
Mmmmm-mmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Where'd you get that alibi
Did it drop out of the midnight sky
Or did you find it lyin' on the side of the road
Was it ever a long, long drive
Did you ever stop once to cry, or 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
