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' dreams

Playin' in bars for tips in a jar

Middle of nowhere, county fairs

Talent shows, rodeos

Any old stage with a microphone

For 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, yeah

Callin' 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 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' dreams

It'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 there

I'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 ooo

I'll know when I get there

Get there

(Ooo ooh)

Get there

I'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
