More Than One Way Home

[00:23.83] Daddy came around every once in a while

[00:27.82] But momma, she was there all the time

[00:32.33] And summertime in Compton was not like TV

[00:36.86] But we were right there where we needed to be

[00:41.37] And the Thurmond Boys on Peach Street with only their dad

[00:46.95] So proud of themselves and that old Pontiac they had

[00:51.21] And Miss Brooks, her Bible and her three little boys

[00:56.51] At the Double Rock Baptist Church makin' a joyful noise

[01:01.30] There's more than one way home

[01:05.83] Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong

[01:10.88] And whatever road you might be on

[01:15.93] You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

[01:24.72] Got me a job at the grocery store

[01:28.19] Workin' weekdays after school from 5 to 9

[01:32.97] And Tommy, John and Charlie were the neighborhood stars

[01:38.01] With their midsize homes and their big fancy cars

[01:43.06] And when the eagle flied on Friday I'd go out to play

[01:47.59] Wastin' time with Otis out on the dock of the bay

[01:52.37] And my ticket to adventure was a ride on the bus

[01:56.64] Different places, different faces but they were just like us

[02:02.48] Well, there's more than one way home

[02:07.31] Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong

[02:12.08] And whatever road you might be on

[02:16.89] You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

[03:02.87] Well, there's more than one way home

[03:06.90] Ain't no right way, ain't no wrong

[03:12.19] Whatever road you might be on

[03:16.18] You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

[03:41.77] There's more than one way home

[03:45.75] And there ain't no right way, ain't no wrong

[03:51.08] Whatever road you might be on

[03:55.33] You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

[04:02.03] More than one way home

[04:04.64] Ain't no right way, no wrong

[04:09.42] Whatever road you might be on

[04:15.26] You find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
