I'm on my way from misery to happiness today I'm on my way from misery to happiness today I'm on my way to what I want from this world And years from now you'll make it to the next world And everything that you receive up yonder Is what you gave to me the day I wandered I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday I took the road that brought me to your home town I took the bus to streets that I could walk down I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for I climbed the stair that led me to your front door [Chorus] And now that I don't want for anything I'd have Al Jolson sing "I"m sitting on top of the world." I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear To keep the past, the past and not the present To try and learn when you teach me a lesson [Chorus]
