Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Hey babe who's to say
He won't come for us today
Hey babe I'm on my way
On our way back home
Stay tight and be alright
There's no way we'll come down tonight
So right it's not worth the fight
On our way back home
And I'm on my way
To where we'll be
To where we both can live
And live peacefully
Hey babe who's to say
He won't come for us today
Hey babe I'm on my way
On our way back home
And I'm on my way
To where we'll be
To where my bones can rest
And rest peacefully
He won't come for us today
Hey babe I'm on my way
On our way back home
Stay tight and be alright
There's no way we'll come down tonight
So right it's not worth the fight
On our way back home
And I'm on my way
To where we'll be
To where we both can live
And live peacefully
Hey babe who's to say
He won't come for us today
Hey babe I'm on my way
On our way back home
And I'm on my way
To where we'll be
To where my bones can rest
And rest peacefully

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
This song isn't "On My Way." This is "On the Run is Where I'm From."
this IS "on my way" and you can find this version on through the 90s. but it is also "on the run is where i'm from" on the fun of watching fireworks.
I think you have it reversed. I have The Fun Of Watching Fireworks, and this song is "On My Way" on that CD.
Of course, I didn't think to consider that maybe the posted lyrics were different when you posted your comment
