More Than One Way Home Lyrics

Daddy came around every once in a while
But mama, she was there all the time
Summertime in Compton was not like TV
We were right there where we needed to be
Whoa, and the Thurmond boys on Peachtree
With only their dad
So proud of themselves and that old Pontiac they had
Miss Brooks, her Bible, and her three little boys
At the Double Rock Baptist Church making a joyful noise

Well, there′s more than one way home
Ain't no right way, ain′t no wrong
And whatever road you might be on
You'll find your own way
'Cause there′s more than one way home

Got me a job at the grocery store
Working weekdays after school from five to nine
Tommy, Johnny, Charlie were the neighborhood stars
With their midsize homes and their big fancy cars
Oh, but when the Eagles flyed on Friday, I′d go out to play
Wasted time with Otis out on the dock of the bay
My ticket to adventure was a ride on the bus
Different faces, different places, they were just like us

And there's more than one way home
Ain′t no right way, ain't no wrong
And whatever road you might be on
You′ll find your own way
And there's more than one way home

More than one way home, yeah
There ain′t no right way, ain't no wrong
And whatever road you might be on
You'll find your own way
And there′s more than one way home

Well, there′s more than one way home
Oh, you know there ain't no right way, ain′t no wrong
And whatever road you might be on
You'll find your own way
And there′s more than one way home

Thank you so very much
