    I'm on My Way, written by Charlie Reid and Craig Reid, is a song by Scottish pop group The Proclaimers for their 1988 album "Sunshine on Leith". In 1989, it was released as a single, which made it to #43 in the United Kingdom. The song was used on the soundtrack of the 2001 comedy film "Shrek" and as the theme music of the Radio Four comedy series "The Maltby Collection".

    In keeping with the groups's support of Scottish soccer club Hibernian FC, "I'm On My Way" was played amidst jubilant scenes at Hampden Park immediately after Hibernian FC 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock F.C. to clinch the CIS League Cup of the 2006/2007 season.

    Kikki Danielsson has covered the song with lyrics in Swedish, written by Ulf Söderberg. This version was named "Jag är på väg", and is on her 1989 album "Canzone d'Amore" and her 2006 compilation album "I dag & i morgon".

    The lyrics differ, as where The Proclaimers sing they take the bus to streets that they could have walked down, and then walking the street, Kikki Danielsson sings that she missed the last bus, and therefore has to walk the last part because she accidentally locked the key inside the car and bought a rose with the money for a taxi.
