On My Way To Town - Nana Mouskouri

On my way to town

Got my money in my secret pocket

On my way to town

Until I get there I won’t turn around

I’m dropping pebbles in my tracks

I will not get lost when I come back

On my way to town

Got my lunch tucked in another pocket

On my way to town

And I will only stop to wash it down

Cool water is good enough

Can’t waste my gold on finer stuff

Got to keep your mind on the maps

Feet on the ground and eyes on the traps

Jewels that shine and the pleasures that blind

And ties that bind and you’re left behind

I know this road

I was on it a long time ago

I know this road

And I know every mind that could explode

You got to keep walking on through the rain

Trees that shelther fall and bring you pain

And when I get to town

I will go straight to the market

When I get to town

I will do my best until the sun goes down

And come the end of day

I’ll look for the stones I dropped along the way
