You Show Me The Way To Go

I was born and raised in a little place
That's all I know
Papa left Mama and she never gave a reason
Why he had to go
I never knew my life before
It wasn't in an open door
Then you came along and you took me in your arms
And you showed me the way to go

Show me the way to go
Show me the way to go

I've been down so many times
Always seem to pick myself up again
And there's times I've been drunk
Stoned out of my mind I couldn't say my name
You offer me a helping hand
You show me how to be a man
Then you came along, took me in your arms
Showed me the way to go

Show me the way to go home
Oh show me the way to go home

I've been down so many times
And I always seem to get myself up again
And all the times I've been drunk and stoned
I couldn't say my name
You offer me a helping hand
Oh now you show me how to be a man
Oh then you came along and you took me in your arms
And you showed me the way to go

Show me the way to go
Oh show me the way to go
Show me the way to go
Show me the way to go
Oh show me the way to go home
Come on and show me the way to go home
