"'Can't Find My Way Home'" is a song written by Steve Winwood that was first released by Blind Faith on their 1969 album 'Blind Faith'. 'Rolling Stone', in a review of the album, noted that the song featured "Ginger Baker's highly innovative percussion" and judged the lyric "And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home" to be "delightful".Morthland, John, 'Rolling Stone', 6 September 1969, page 28.
