From town to town, an' job to job,
|
Livin' in cars 'n parkin' lots.
|
A good hot meal an' a place to sleep,
|
Are things you miss when you're chasin' dreams.
|
Playin' bars for tips in a jar,
|
Middle of nowhere County Fairs.
|
Talent shows, rodeos... any old stage with a microphone.
|
For a chance to sing, I'd do anything,
|
An' it feels like I've lost everything.
|
I just gotta believe it's down that road somewhere,
|
'Cause I'll know when I get there, yeah.
|
|
Callin' cards in old payphones.
|
Momma cries: "When you comin' home.
|
"Do you need any money? Are you sure?
|
"Are you eatin' well? Are you goin' to Church?"
|
"GAC, CMT...
|
"We still ain't seen you on TV.
|
"We keep turnin' on that radio,
|
"Still wantin' to hear them songs you wrote.
|
"Dad wants to know all the stars you met.
|
"Do you ever see Dolly? Are you famous yet?"
|
I just say: "Momma, keep me in your prayers...
|
"And I'll know when I get there."
|
|
I don't know if it's worth it.
|
And I don't know if I'm good enough.
|
All I know is I'm givin' it all I've got.
|
And I'll know when I get there.
|
|
From town to town, an' job to job,
|
Livin' in cars 'n parkin' lots.
|
A good hot meal an' a place to sleep,
|
Are things you miss when you're chasin' dreams.
|
It's hard to tell just where you're at,
|
When you're lookin' for somethin' that ain't on a map.
|
I just gotta believe it's down that road somewhere,
|
And I'll know when I get there.
|
I'll know when I get there.
|
I'll know when I get there.
|
Yeah, oh, when I get there.
|
|
(I'll know when I get there.)
|
From town to town, an' job to job,
|
Livin' in cars on parkin' lots.
|
Yeah. Ooh ooh.
|
|
(I'll know when I get there, get there.)
|
Ooh ooh. (Get there.)
|
(I'll know when I get there, get there.)
|
Ooh ooh. (Get there.)
|
|
(I'll know when I get there, get there.)
|
From town to town, an' job to job,
|
Good hot meal an' a place to sleep.
|
|
(I'll know when I get there.)
|
When I get there.
