I'll Know When I Get There

From town to town an' job to job

Livin' in cars an' parkin' lots

A good hot meal an' a place to sleep

Are things you miss, when you're chasin' dreamsPlayin' in bars for tips in a jar

Middle of nowhere, county fairs

Talent shows, rodeos

Any old stage with a microphoneFor a chance to sing, I'd do anything

An' it feels like I've lost everything

I just gotta believe it's down that road somewhere

Guess I'll know when I get there, yeahCallin' cards an' old pay phones

Momma cries, "When you comin' home?

Do you need any money? Are you sure?

Are you eatin' well? Are you goin' to church?""GAC, CMT

We still ain't seen you on TV

We keep turnin' on that radio

Still wantin' to hear them songs you wrote""Dad wants to know all the stars you met

Do you ever see Dolly? Are you famous yet?"

I just say,"Momma, keep me in your prayers

And I'll know when I get there"I don't know if it's worth it

And I don't know if I'm good enough

All I know is I'm givin' it all I got

And I'll know when I get thereFrom town to town an' job to job

Livin' in cars an' parkin' lots

A good hot meal an' a place to sleep

Are things you miss when you're chasin' dreamsIt's hard to tell just where you're at

When you're lookin' for somethin' that ain't on a map

I just gotta believe it's down that road somewhere

And I'll know when I get thereI'll know when I get there

I'll know when I get there

Yeah, when I get there

(I'll know when I get there)From town to town and job to job

Livin' in cars an' parkin' lots

Yeah, ooo oooI'll know when I get there

Get there

(Ooo ooh)

Get thereI'll know when I get there

Get there

(Ooo ooo)

Get there

(I'll know when I get there)From town to town, an' job to job

Good hot meal an' a place to sleep

(I'll know when I get there)

When I get there
