[Verse 1]
The devil said for you and I
To settle in our shoes
So we would never have to fight
And never have to lose
[Chorus]
But many a road have I wandered
And many a love have I pondered
Many a life have I squandered
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way back home
[Verse 2]
So I went up to god's front door
And said, "Hey, listen up!
You know, the devil offers Coupe DeVilles
And water in my cup"
[Chorus]
But many a road have I wandered
And many a love have I pondered
Many a life have I squandered
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way back home
[Verse 3]
So I laughed in the devil's face
And said, "Hey, go to hell
You think I'd buy just anything
That you would try and sell?"
[Chorus - alt]
Cause many a life have I wagered
And many a love have I savored
Many a lie have I favored
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way back home
[Outro]
Yeah, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way back home
Yeah, on my way, on my way
Oh, on my way back home
