THIS IS NOT THE WAY HOME


THIS IS NOT THE WAY
THIS IS NOT THE WAY
THIS IS NOT THE WAY HOME

ABOUT HALF PAST THREE
TODAY STARTED SO INNOCENTLY
DON’T LIKE CAFFIENE FREE
THRU THE FOG I CAN CLEARLY SEE
SPEND THE DAY HELPING OUT
DON’T WANT TO LEAVE ANY DOUBT
DON’T WANT THAT SCREAM AND SHOUT
BUT REMEMBER THIS, I AINT NO BOYSCOUT

CHORUS

SOME MAY COME, SOME MAY GO
SIE LA VIE, SAVE MY SOUL
THERES A GIRL EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW
GIFT WRAPPED WITH A BOW
STARTS OUT WITH A SECRET SMILE
PRETTY SOON AND ONLY A WHILE
FEELING FAINT, SO BEGUILED
YOU’VE BEEN SEDUCED, BY A MILE

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
YOU CAN’T FIND JOY
 WHEN YOU ACT LIKE A BOY
THIS AINT STEALING CANDY
PANIC SETS IN
YOUR COMMITING A SIN
DON’T JUST STAND THERE AND BRAND ME
IF WHERE YOU ARE
IS NOT THE PLACE YOU WANT TO BE
FIND YOUR PATH BUT DON’T YOU ROAM
AS FOR ME I SEE THE LIGHT THRU THE TREES
BUT THAT’S NOT MY WAY BACK HOME
NOT MY WAY HOME
NOT MY WAY HOME
NOT MY WAY HOME

CAN'T RUN YOU CANNOT HIDE
HANDCUFFED BY MISGUIDED PRIDE
WASHED AWAY BY THE INCOMING TIDE
HIDE YOURSELF, ITS YOU THAT LIED
SLAP YOURSELF, THANKS I NEEDED THAT
BRACE YOURSELF, WE’RE GOING TO THE MAT
IT’S INTENSE, IT’S REALLY PHAT
THIS AINT YOU, WELL IMAGINE THAT

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT BRIDGE
REPEAT CHORUS

Commentary
Dave's comments-
"NOT MY WAY HOME"
 was written about a wayward teenager
looking for his place in life.
Learning along the way about love or lack there of.
Looking for real truth and finding its not always what he thought it should be.
