This Way

Lyrics by Dieter Hoffmann (dieter_hoffmann@yahoo.com)


I was walking past a field of wheat
Near the town where I grew up
I remembered all the times before oh ho ho
Walking this way with my dog when school was over
Thinking of what life's about
For me it had to be this way



They tell you everything you have to do
To make your life worth while
They show you everything you have to buy oh ho ho
So that your life is not in vain you got to know that
I think this is a crying shame
For me it cannot be this way



It doesn't matter what you do or say
It comes back to you anyway



Now I am older and I think I know
My life takes place inside of me
I think of places where I used to go oh ho ho
They're hidden in my memory like photographs
The places where I used to be
For me it has to be it has to be this way
