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 find young man
I thought I already was
But I was wrong
Ooh 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
Ooh 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 your going
The road’s still long
They all try to tell you
But who are they to say
Cause the best things that your learn
You find out on your way
No time for feeling 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
