lyrics

GO MY WAY

1
When will the weather go my way
I want a nice and sunny day
when will the market go my way
I wanna step up to the counter and get paid
when will that girl she look my way
I wanted her in the worst kind of way
why does it come to me when I say
why won't anything go my way

It's nothing, mister occifer
just a figment of your imagination
it's not mine, mister officer
'cause I know all about the legislation
it ain't nothing, mister officer
you don't see a baggy clinging to my leg
it's not mine, mister officer
cause mine gots the hairs that are red
hairs that are red

2
When can I get out of jail
can't stand the smell and I want a beer
the screams form the guy next door to me
is the only thing I can hear
it was a good thing she was not home
when I used my dime to make my one phone call
she might have not called up my lawyer
lying in bed reading Tom Sawyer
hey bro, call my lawyer

It's nothing, mister occifer
just a figment of your imagination
it's not mine, mister officer
'cause I know all about your legislation
it ain't nothing, mister officer
you don't see a baggy clinging to my leg
it's not mine, mister officer
'cause mine gots the hairs that are red
hairs that are red, hairs that are red

won't go my way, go my way, go my way
you got to go my way, go my way, go my way
ah wan go my way, go my way, go my way
you got to go my way, go my way, go my way

listen up, mister occifer you can't put me away
me wan fe stay and stay
and play until the break a day
but if you put me away they can't go and play
you got to go my way man you can't put me away

ah wan go my way, go my way, go my way
ah want you go my way, go my way, go my way
you got to go my way, go my way, go my way
ah want you go my way, go my way, go my way

3
When will the weather go my way
I want a nice and windless night
it's kind of a sad thing to have to say
all them jays I won't get to light
light my fire
