I'll Know When I Get There

(album: Three Chord Country And American Rock & Roll - 2005)

From town to town, an' job to job,
Living in cars 'n parking lots.
A good hot meal an' a place to sleep,
Are things you miss when you're chasing dreams.
Playing 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,
An' it feels like I've lost everything.
I just gotta believe it's down that road somewhere,
'Cause I'll know when I get there, yeah.

Calling cards in old payphones.
Momma 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 you 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: "Momma, 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've got.
And I'll know when I get there.

From town to town, an' job to job,
Living in cars 'n parking lots.
A good hot meal an' 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, oh, when I get there.

(I'll know when I get there.)
From town to town, an' job to job,
Living in cars on parking lots.
Yeah. Ooh ooh.

(I'll know when I get there, get there.)
Ooh ooh. (Get there.)
(I'll know when I get there, get there.)
Ooh ooh. (Get there.)

(I'll know when I get there, get there.)
From town to town, an' job to job,
Good hot meal an' a place to sleep.

(I'll know when I get there.)
When I get there.
