Trying to Find a Way
Lyrics by Pamela G & Joyce Jones

Verse 1
In the back of my mind I’ve been gone so long
traveled on so many roads, all alone.
Got my suitcase by my side, it’s been my friend, with me in every place that I’ve been.
Change
So I figured out to day, trying to get away, I’m trying to find my way to get back home. Trying to find a way, I’m trying to find a way to get back home.
trying to find a way back to where I belong..
Verse 2
I played my guitar, sang a few songs, did some right sometimes did some wrong…
Almost went to far gave up my soul, wanted to get back home before I got too old.
Change
So I figured out today, trying to get away, trying to find a way to get back home. Trying to find a way, I’m trying to find a way to get back home. Trying to find a way back to where I belong..
Solo
Bridge
You know you did some right some wrong, traveling on so many roads. Trying to make a difference to where you came from.
You know you did some right some wrong, traveling on so many roads, Trying to find a way back to where you belong.
