On My Way

It was late one night on the delta, the night I ran away

A million stars were shining just for me to light my way

There ain't no one living who can catch me

I'm bound to be free; I'm on my way

I heard the whippoorwill singing his lonely song

I said bird if you want to join me then you're welcome to come along

There ain't no one living who can catch me

I'm bound to be free; I'm on my way

That old man he tried to catch me, I laughed at him all night long

Watched him stumbling through the darkness, every move he made was wrong

'Cause there ain't no one living who can catch me

I'm bound to be free; I'm on my way

I've got a man who'll meet me in Georgia, sweetest man you'll ever see

And there ain't no chains or shackles that can keep that man from me

He knows there ain't no one living who can catch me

I'm bound to be free; I'm on my way

He knows there ain't no one living who can catch me

I'm bound to be free

He knows there ain't no one living who can catch me

I'm bound to be free
