How You Know You Made It

(albüm: Blacktop - 2023)

They say you know you made it
When everybody knows your name and
You're deeper in the pockets
Anything you want, you got it
The destination's always changing
So you never quite arrive
I'm tired of going 'round in circles
So I'm getting off this ride

I'm taking in the moment
And watching that red sunset fading
I'm already holding
That dream that I've been chasing
Wall Street can keep the money
Hollywood can have the famous
I've got a house that's home
I've got a can that's cold
I've got a hand to hold
That's how you know you made it

I've been spending all my time
Saving every dime
And I've been working hard as hell
To make a name for myself
Ambition ain't a bad thing
But it can make it hard to see
The good in what you got
And girl, I got you here next to me

So I'm taking in the moment
And watching that red sunset fading
I'm already holding
That dream that I've been chasing
Wall Street can keep the money
Hollywood can have the famous
I've got a house that's home
I've got a can that's cold
I've got a hand to hold
That's how you know you made it
Yeah, you made it

It's never running out of things
To thank God for when you hit your knees at night
It's knowing that you found the one
That you want to love for the rest of your life

I'm taking in the moment
And watching that red sunset fading
I'm already holding
That dream that I've been chasing
Wall Street can keep the money
Hollywood can have the famous
When push comes to shove
I've got the girl I love
And if that ain't enough
I've got a house that's home
I've got a can that's cold
I've got a hand to hold
That's how you know you made it

Just taking in the moment
That's how you know you made it
