Lyrics
DOWN THE ROAD (Are We There Yet?)
by Daniel Curzon and J. Richard Murray
Copyright 2001
Verse #1
DOWN THE ROAD TO PEACE AND GLORY
THERE ARE HILLS TO CLIMB AND TOLLS TO PAY.
DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS A STORY --
WITH BUMPS AND CRITTERS IN THE WAY.
Verse #2
DOWN THE ROAD TO PEACE AND GLORY
WE?LL HAVE BLIND SPOTS TO GET BY.
DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS A STORY --
TOO MUCH SUNLIGHT IN YOUR EYES.
Chorus
ARE WE THERE YET?
HOW DO WE KNOW?
ARE WE THERE YET?
SURE MOVIN? SLOW.
I SURE DO HOPE WE GET THERE SOON.
I SURE DO HOPE WE GET THERE SOON!
Verse #3
DOWN THE ROAD TO PEACE AND GLORY,
WE?RE IN THE DARK WITHOUT A MAP.
DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS A STORY --
RIDING IN YOUR RATTLETRAP.
Verse #4
DOWN THE ROAD TO PEACE AND GLORY
THERE ARE CLOUDS OF DUST AND BLOWIN? TRASH.
DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS A STORY --
FIRST YOU STALL -- AND THEN YOU CRASH!
Repeat Chorus
Musical Bridge
Ending Chorus
ARE WE THERE YET?
HOW DO WE KNOW?
ARE WE THERE YET?
SURE MOVIN? SLOW.
SURE DO HOPE WE GET THERE SOON.
SURE DO HOPE WE GET --
SURE DO HOPE WE GET THERE SOON,
I SURE DO HOPE WE GET THERE SOON!
[optional: ] OH, SOOOOON!
