Boogie My Way Back Home lyrics

(Gary Moore)

Hey you with the guitar.

Where did you play last night?

I do believe it was in Memphis,

but I can`t remember right now.

`Cause I been foul politicin`

and I acted in fear to be.

I had to get up five this morning

with them bells playing in my head.



Sometimes I work so hard,

I`m gonna play my fingers to the bone.

Well, I can boogie, boogie,

boogie on my way back home.



Well, I`ve been workin` every night

for the pastes buy meats and needs.

I`m gonna finish up tomorrow night

and turn myself a plane back east.

I`m gonna do my work

so I can help my pain and rest.

Well, I`ll be back here someday soon

hope I can give my best.



Sometimes I work so hard,

I`m gonna play my fingers to the bone.

And now I can boogie, boogie,

boogie on my way back home.

Yeah.



Well, my axe is gettin` rusty

and an old slow demon I seem to be.

The throat is gettin` dusty,

before it`s gone that I had thrifty hands.

Well, I`ve been up for heart breakin`

and I had to keep my men to pay.

I had to catch a plane this morning

with them bells ringing in my head.



Sometimes I work so hard,

I`m gonna, gonna play my fingers to the bone, hooh.

Well, now I can boogie, boogie,

boogie on my way back home.



Said I learned to boogie, boogie,

boogie on my way back home.



I can boogie, boogie,

boogie on my way back home.
