Lyrics

When I Get To Where I?m Going

Verse#1
I remember the day when I left home
Mom stood waivin? on our drive
I saw tears fall from her eyes
I broke down and started cryin?

P/C#1
I knew in my heart I?d never get far
Livin? in that small town
So I packed up my life and said goodbye
Chasing questions in my mind

Chorus:
When I get to where I?m going
Will I feel like I?ve come home
Will it be another rest stop
And I?ll keep on movin? on
Sometimes I lay awake and wonder
If I?ll be satisfied
If I?ll ever know when I?ve arrived
When I get to where I?m going

Verse#2
I picked a place off of the roadmap
Picked a place I?d never been
Thought I?d like to try Wisconsin
But then I thought but then again
What if I find that what?s in my mind
Isn?t waiting for me there
If the place is the same, just another dead end
Will I ever feel content

Chorus:
When I get to where I?m going
Will I feel like I?ve come home
Will it be another rest stop
And I?ll keep on movin? on
Sometimes I lay awake and wonder
If I?ll be satisfied
If I?ll ever know when I?ve arrived
When I get to where I?m going

Bridge:
Everytime I get to where I think I need to be
There?s always someplace new that keeps on
Reaching out for me

Chorus:
When I get to where I?m going
Will I feel like I?ve come home
Will it be another rest stop
And I?ll keep on movin? on
Sometimes I lay awake and wonder
If I?ll be satisfied
If I?ll ever know when I?ve arrived
When I get to where I?m going
