The Getting There

A wedding day is maybe twelve hours But if you don't love the one that you planned it with It's just money spent on flowers And that fish you catch, it'll catch you an eight second high But if you don't love the day you spend with your dad It's just bait and tangled lines And a Grammy speech is just two minutes For twenty years of work So if you don't love the band, the broke down van Then tell what it's worth Maybe getting there is getting good And loving what you got And maybe living well is loving life From the bottom to the top Yeah, songs will sound just a little bit sweeter Grass will look just a little bit greener With the windows down, feeling the air Yeah, life will look real good from just about anywhere If you love the getting there It takes a couple years to save up for a house But without Christmas dinners and baby pictures It's just money down And that view from the top of the corporate ladder House on the hill that you're always after Ain't gonna do the trick if you don't love who you do it with Turns out getting there is getting good And loving what you got And maybe living well is loving life From the bottom to the top Yeah, songs will sound just a little bit sweeter Grass will look just a little bit greener With the windows down, feeling the air Yeah, life will look real good from just about anywhere If you love the getting there Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter Grass will look just a little bit greener With the windows down, feeling the air That bank account will look a whole lot richer Missing out won't taste so bitter If you enjoy the ride, let life take you anywhere You'll see getting there is getting good And loving what you got And maybe living well is loving life From the bottom to the top Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter Grass will look just a little bit greener With the windows down, feeling the air Yeah, life will look real good from just about anywhere If you love the getting there, mmhmm If you love the getting there, mmhmm Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter If you love the getting there --- The Getting There - Spencer Crandall
