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
Ooh I was wrong, yeah
Ten years old and I'm growin'
Thinkin' I got it sussed
Mama said you'll be a fine 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, yeah
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
Ooh I was wrong
'Cause when you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)
When you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)
They all try to tell you but who are they to say
'Cause the best things that you learn you find out on your way
No time for feelin' 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
That ain't wrong
Ooh that ain't wrong no
'Cause when you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)
When you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)
When you get where you're going, yeah
