Where You're Going

(album: Heartland Highway - 2010)

We all know the 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 the 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
With stop right here, there's no way of knowing
It ain't where you've been
It's where you're going

Sitting out underneath the old lamp 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 play
When the front porch light came screaming on
And your daddy 'bout tore the screen door down
Saying move along, can't be wrong
Said 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've 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 they know, 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've been
It's where you're going

It's not where you've been
With stop right here, there's no way of knowing
It ain't where you've been
It's where you're going
Where you're going
Ah yeah
