more than one way home

daddy came around every once in a while

but momma

she was there all the time

and summertime in compton was not like tv

but we were right there where we needed to be

and the thurmond boys on peach street with only their dad

so proud of themselves and that old pontiac they had

and miss brooks

her bible and her three little boys

at the double rock baptist church makin' a joyful noise

there's more than one way home

ain't no right way

ain't no wrong

and whatever road you might be on

you find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

got me a job at the grocery store

workin' weekdays after school from 5 to 9

and tommy

john and charlie were the neighborhood stars

with their midsize homes and their big fancy cars

and when the eagle flied on friday i'd go out to play

wastin' time with otis out on the dock of the bay

and my ticket to adventure was a ride on the bus

different places

different faces but they were just like us

well

there's more than one way home

ain't no right way

ain't no wrong

and whatever road you might be on

you find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

well

there's more than one way home

ain't no right way

ain't no wrong

whatever road you might be on

you find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

there's more than one way home

and there ain't no right way

ain't no wrong

whatever road you might be on

you find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home

more than one way home

ain't no right way

no wrong

whatever road you might be on

you find your own way 'cause there's more than one way home
