That's My Way

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
