Brian crawley - On My Way lyrics

[OLD LADY, spoken] Well, I'm going to Nashville The country music capital of the world? My son lives there and works in the cellophane plant He's got three little boys not old enough to be in school yet I don't know how I feel about a house full of children [VIOLET, spoken] It's hot in here… [OLD LADY] I had eight children myself Stevie, the youngest, I lost him to Korea Harvey's the only other boy The girls, of course, are scattered to the winds They made such beautiful brides… Sorry dear [VIOLET] I hope you have a nice visit [OLD LADY] Oh, it's not a visit. I maybe will move I tell you what, though And I know you won't think well of me for it But I am right tired of children [VIOLET, sung] Look at her skin China-white Tissue-thin Look how the light cuts clear to the bone Gives her skin such a tone I'd take it any day Praise God for everyone I meet While I I am on my way My face is mean [VIOLET & OLD LADY] Eighty years Worth of tears Might scrub it clean [VIOLET] As hers, and as strong (and strong) But Jesus, don't wait so long To make my face okay [ALL] At last, the North Carolina border! And I [VIOLET] I am on my way Before another sunrise wakes me [VIOLET/OLD LADY/BUS DRIVER] Before another night is gone [ALL] I'll find out where this highway takes me You know I got to travel on Left my troubles all behind me Back there when I climbed on board Jordon River's where you'll find me It's wide but not too wide to ford [VIOLET] (Young Violet) And as I'm goin' along (and as I'm goin' along) I carry with me [YOUNG VIOLET, VIOLET] Promises that can't go wrong [VIOLET] As I travel on my way [BUS DRIVER] First thing I'll do Go to Sal's Barbeque [OLD LADY] Ready or not All those boys [BUS DRIVER] Greasy, messy barbeque Best I've had [FLICK] Can't be so bad Not the worst [OLD LADY] Making noise Grubby hands Dirty toys [FLICK] Post I've had Not so bad [VIOLET] Red hair's a thought Really fine Not like mine [ALL] No matter what [BUS DRIVER] I'll have me some pie [OLD LADY] No better than squirrels [FLICK] It's bound to be dry [VIOLET] A head full of curls [VIOLET/YOUNG VIOLET] Like Judy Holliday [BUS DRIVER] Wave goodbye, folks, to Carolina! [OLD LADY] His wife thinks I'm a dragonfly, Lord You've got to help me find my way [FLICK] Too bad we don't see eye-to-eye, Lord We could pa** the time of day [OLD LADY/FLICK/VIOLET] And as I'm going along I carry with me Promises that can't go wrong [VIOLET/YOUNG VIOLET] As I travel on As I travel on my way [ALL] Left my troubles all behind me Back there when I climbed on board Jordan River's where you'll find me It's wide but not too wide to ford And as I'm goin' along I carry with me [VIOLET] Promises that can't go wrong [VIOLET/YOUNG VIOLET] As I travel on [ALL] As I travel on My way
