Milky White Way Lyrics

Yes, I'm gonna walk on that milky white way
Oh Lord, some of these days
Well, I'm gonna walk that milky white way
Some of these days, well, well, well, well
I'm gonna walk up and take my stand
Gonna join that Christian band
I'm gonna walk on that milky white way
Oh Lord, some of these days

I'm gonna tell my mother howdy, howdy
Howdy when I get home
Yes, I'm gonna tell my mother howdy
When I get home, well, well, well, well
I'm gonna shake my mother's hand
I will shake her hands that day
That's when we walk on that milky white way
Oh Lord, one of these days
(On some of these days)

I'm gonna meet God the Father and God the Son
Yes, I'm gonna meet God the Father and God the Son
Well, well, well, well
I'm gonna sit down and tell Him my troubles
About the world that I just came from
That's when we walk on that milky white way
Oh Lord, one of these days

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

These lyrics mean a lot to me. What would be the purpose in this life if we did not go on living? It always sounds a bit childish or naive to believe, but I guess everyone is entitled to believe what they like. There are people in this life who are talented painters/artists, some who are talented musicians, some who are amazing bakers... and some who have spiritual knowledge and have the veil thin. Perhaps they too bring something to this earth as much as music and delicious cakes do!
