Daryl Hall & John Oates - Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall & John Oates

All The Way From Philadelphia - previously unreleased

Wooo hoooo
Ooh

I remember the first time
I heard my music on the radio, ooh
I was your backstreet kissing and
I wanted all the world to know
Oooh, and sonny was playing

It burned down through my soul
I had to hear the who-wa, who-wa
Late every morning
The times may change but oh, you're still the one, oh
Why don't we get back home where we come from
Where we come from

All the way from Philadelphia
I hear a song and it brings me back to you
Taking me home
Taking me home, well, well
Memphis sticks, to the Motor City now
Sweet soul music's deep within me
Taking me home
Taking me home

So, we grew up together
And it still sounds good to me (yes it does)
Now the hall is changed baby
But the groove still moves in the street
There's an old school choir
It's in a new school harmony
Well let it play on forever yeah
Baby that's the way it should be

Well the time may change but you're still the one (oh, you're still the one)
Why don't we get back home where we belong
Where we come from

All the way from Philadelphia
I hear a song and it brings me back to you
Taking me home
Taking me home, oh, that got me thinkin' 'bout
Memphis sticks, to the Motor City now
Sweet soul music's deep within me
Taking me home
Taking me home

All the way from Philadelphia (oooh, Philadelphia)
I hear a song and it brings me back to you (it brings me back to you)
Taking me home (taking me home)
Taking me home (taking me home)
(That got me thinking 'bout) Memphis sticks, to the Motor City now
Sweet soul music's deep within me (so deep within me now)
Taking me home
Taking me home, oooh

All the way from Philadelphia (all the way, all the way)
Taking me home, taking me home
All the way from Philadelphia (got to come home, got to come home)
Taking me home, taking me home
All the way from Philadelphia (ooh, sweet soul music)

Taking me home, taking me home
All the way from Philadelphia (taking me back, taking me)
Taking me home, taking me home (such a long way, such a long way)
All the way from Philadelphia
