I'll Know When I Get There

From town to town and job to job
Living in cars and parking lots
A good hot meal and a place to sleep
Are things you miss when you're chasing dreams
Playing 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
And 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
Calling cards and old pay phones
Mama cries, "When you coming home?
Do you need any money? Are you sure?
Are you eating well? Are you going to church?
"GAC, CMT
We still ain't seen on TV
We keep turning on that radio
Still wanting 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, "Mama, 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 giving it all I got
And I'll know when I get there
From town to town and job to job
Living in cars and parking lots
A good hot meal and a place to sleep
Are things you miss when you're chasing dreams
It's hard to tell just where you're at
When you're looking for something 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
Living in cars and parking lots
Yeah, ooh, ooh
I'll know when I get there
Get there (ooh, ooh)
Get there (x2)
(I'll know when I get there)
From town to town and job to job
Good hot meal and a place to sleep
(I'll know when I get there)
When I get there
