| Song | Home By Another Way |
| Artist | James Taylor |
| Album | Never Die Young |
| 作词 : Mayer, Taylor | |
| Those magic men the magi | |
| Some people call them wise | |
| Or oriental, even kings | |
| Well anyway, those guys | |
| They visited with jesus | |
| They sure enjoyed their stay | |
| Then warned in a dream of king herod's scheme | |
| They went home by another way | |
| Yes they went home by another way | |
| Home by another way | |
| Maybe me and you can be wise guys too | |
| And go home by another way | |
| We can make it another way | |
| Safe home as they used to say | |
| Keep a weather eye to the chart on high | |
| And go home another way | |
| Steer clear of royal welcomes | |
| Avoid a big to-do | |
| A king who would slaughter the innocents | |
| Will not cut a deal for you | |
| He really, really wants those presents | |
| He'll comb your camel's fur | |
| Until his boys announce they've found trace amounts | |
| Of your frankincense, gold and myrth | |
| Time to go home by another way | |
| Home by another way | |
| You have to figure the gods saying play the odds | |
| And go home by another way | |
| We can make it another way | |
| Safe home as they used to say | |
| Keep a weather eye to the chart on high | |
| And go home another way | |
| Home is where they want you now | |
| You can more or less assume that you'll be welcome in the end | |
| Mustn't let king herod haunt you so | |
| Or fantasize his features when you're looking at a friend | |
| Well it pleasures me to be here | |
| And to sing this song tonight | |
| They tell me that life is a miracle | |
| And i figured that they're right | |
| But herod's always out there | |
| He's got our cards on file | |
| It's a lead pipe cinch, if we give an inch | |
| Old herod likes to take a mile | |
| It's best to go home by another way | |
| Home by another way | |
| We got this far to a lucky star | |
| But tomorrow is another day | |
| We can make it another way | |
| Safe home as they used to say | |
| Keep a weather eye to the chart on high | |
| And go home another way |
