On Your Way Down - Trombone Shorty, Allen Toussaint

Be on your way

Don’t try to say that

You love me still

If we couldn’t find

The right dream by now

Then we never will

We paid our dues at the door

And never once saw the stage

We wrote our share of love’s lore

And never quite filled the page

So be on your way

Be on your way

Maybe someday we will

Meet again

Try not to cry

Tears make me think

How it might have been

We loved as strong as we could

But love only got in our way

We took our time to be free

There’s nothing much more to say but

Be on your way
