I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down You're the one that was trying to keep me way down But like the sun know you know I found my way back 'round.

I'm on my way, on my way, on my way down (x2) You're the one that was tryna keep me way down But like the sun know you know I found my way back round. And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud I can tell you ain't laughed in a while But I wanna see that crooked smile.

And we can ride with the windows down, the music loud I can tell you ain't laughed in a while, but I wanna see that crooked smile.
