Growing up as a young boy Sometimes can be rough At six years old I was thinkin Seven would be just enough But I was wrong Ooo I was wrong Ten years old and I'm growin Thinkin I got it sussed Mama said you'll be a fine young man I thought I already was But I was wrong Ooo I was wrong Cause when you get where you're going The road's still long Eighteen years I'm a rebel Thinkin I'm pretty tough Daddy said you got a lot to learn I thought that I'd learned enough But I was wrong Ooo I was wrong Twenty-five was a good time Comin into my own Climbed the mountain And I reached for the sky I thought that I had it all But I was wrong Ooo I was wrong Cause when you get where you're going The road's still long When you get where you're going The road's still long They all try to tell you But who are they to say Cause the best things that you learn You find out on your way No time for feelin sorry Just time for being strong When you get where your going The road's still long Now I see where I come from Now I see where I am Now I see that you never really know So you just gotta do the best you can And that ain't wrong Ooo that ain't wrong Cause when you get where you're going The road's still long When you get where you're going The road's still long When you get where you're going yea
