Lyrics
The Road that Gets You There
Snowed out in Chicago airport all shut down
Don't think he'll close that sale in Santa Fe
Grabs for his last cigarette curses his bad luck
When an old man with a lighter stops to say,
"It don't matter where you're goin' 'cause as far as I can see
Son, it will stop snowin' and you're right where you should be"
Life's not a race that you can win, we'll never be in this place again
Take it as is, enjoy the ride, you're gonna get there in good time
Life's a celebration meant to be shared, it's not the destination
It's the road that gets you there
Drivin' down to grandma's with his anxious little boy
Two hours down and three more of them to go
His restless son is tired from sitting still to long
He wants to run and play and tells dad so
Says, "daddy, are we there yet" one too many times
But dad just grins to himself and gives his son advice
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
