Where You're Going

We all own a rough piece of history
That we like to remain a mystery
About lessons learned and ugly words
Bridges burned and we can't return
To the house of love in a cloud of dust
You can throw the book at all of us
It's clear as mud when you're young and dumb
Can't outrun, what's done is done
It's not where you've been
What's up ahead, there's no way of knowing
It ain't where you've been
It's where you're going
Sitting out, underneath the old light post
When you came creeping out of your window
We were tempting fate with our late night date
Coming round third base, heading for home plate
When the front porch light came screaming on
And your daddy about tore the screen door down
Saying, "Move along!" It can't be wrong
If we say so long and we get far gone
It's not where you've been
Keep moving on when the wind is blowing
It ain't where you been
It's where you're going
Don't carry your bags to the end of the line
Just drop them off and enjoy the ride
The road may go high and low
Stone by stone, fast or slow
It's not where you've been
No looking back, there's no signs of slowing
It ain't where you been
It's where you're going
Not where you've been
What's up ahead, there's no way of knowing
It ain't where you been
It's where you're going
Where you're going
Ah yeah
