You Show Me the Way to Go - Jim Sullivan

I was born and raised in a little place

That’s all I know

Papa left Mama and she never gave a reason

Why he had to go

I never knew my life before

It wasn’t in an open door

Then you came along and you took me in your arms

And you showed me the way to go

Show me the way to go

Show me the way to go

I’ve been down so many times

Always seem to pick myself up again

And there’s times I’ve been drunk

Stoned out of my mind I couldn’t say my name

You offer me a helping hand

You show me how to be a man

Then you came along, took me in your arms

Showed me the way to go

Show me the way to go home

Oh show me the way to go home

I’ve been down so many times

And I always seem to get myself up again

And all the times I’ve been drunk and stoned

I couldn’t say my name

You offer me a helping hand

Oh now you show me how to be a man

Oh then you came along and you took me in your arms

And you showed me the way to go

Show me the way to go

Oh show me the way to go

Show me the way to go

Show me the way to go

Oh show me the way to go home

Come on and show me the way to go home
