From There To Here

Brothers Wilber and Orville Wright Built wings out of wood and steel Folks said that thing'll never fly They said, "watch, I bet it will" We've been defyin' gravity now goin' on a hundred years It was paper wings, faith, and dreams That's how we got from there to here A nickel brought a soda pop way back then And a movie only cost a dime He came home with a scar and a purple heart She waited all that time Today they'll cut a golden wedding cake How'd they made it all those years? It had to be tough; they just said it was love That's how they got from there to here You either do or you don't believe That it can or can't be done An ounce of faith and a touch of grace And it can happen to anyone Four boys, lots of noise, two-car garage Hey, turn those guitars down They couldn't know that the world would grow In time to love that sound They headed out, in a beat-up van And a U-Haul packed full of gear The road was long, but the will was strong That's how they got from there to here Yeah, they got a bus, but you can bet they'd walk Just to hear another crowd cheer It was a song and a prayer and a lot of luck and you That got us from there to here --- From There to Here - Randy Owen and Lonestar
