[Verse 1]
On my way to work, I rode a big green bus
I could see everything from the upper deck
People came and went, smoking cigarettes
I picked the packets up, when the people left

[Bridge 1]
But all the time I thought of you
How far away the future seemed
How could I have so many dreams
And one of them not come true?

[Verse 2]
On my way to work, I bought a magazine
Inside a pretty girl liked to water-ski
She came from Chichester to study history
She had removed her clothes for the likes of me

[Bridge 2]
But all the time I thought of you
How would you know that I was there?
How could I soul-search everywhere
Without knowing what to do?

[Verse 3]
On my way to work, as I was clocking in
I could see everything, how it came to be
People come and go, smoking cigarettes
I pick the packets up, when the people leave

[Bridge 3]
But all the time I think of you
How far away the future seems
How could I have so many dreams
And one of them not come true?

[Refrain]
On my way to work

[Bridge 2]
But all the time I thought of you
How would you know that I was there?
How could I soul-search everywhere
Without knowing what to do?

[Outro]
On my way to work
On my way to work

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
