On Our Way - Wiser Time

I was leaving New York City to meet my baby, heading south, down to the Florida

state line

Trying to reach the border on a second wind in 21 hours, with many miles

already behind

The sun was shining and our spirits were strong, and we were rolling, on and on

To see my baby, and we’re on our way

We met some trouble with some Jacksonville trucker when we pulled into the

station

Then right down to the ocean for 400 miles, straight through the pouring rain

When we get to where we’re going I wanna rest my weary head and wash my body

clean from this day

Then squeeze my baby, and we’re on our way

A shot of Brandy in the morning would feel so good, and lift all this weight

from my mind

Well, I don’t know what to do, but to get to you I know we got to keep making

time

So with a little bit of luck and this old Peterbuilt truck, we gonna get there

by the end of the day

To see my baby, and we’re on our way
