Growing up as a young boy

Sometimes can be rough

At six years old I was thinkin

Seven would be just enough

But I was wrong

Ooo I was wrong

Ten years old and Im growin

Thinkin I got it sussed

Mama said youll be a find young man

I thought I already was

But I was wrong

Ooh I was wrong



Cause when you get where youre going

The roads still long

Eighteen years Im a rebel

Thinkin Im pretty tough

Daddy said you got a lot to learn

I thought that Id learned enough

But I was wrong

Ooh I was wrong

Twenty-five was a good time

Comin into my own

Climbed the mountain

And I reached for the sky

I thought that I had it all

But I was wrong

Ooo I was wrong



Cause when you get where youre going

The roads still long

When you get where your going

The roads still long



They all try to tell you

But who are they to say

Cause the best things that your learn

You find out on your way

No time for feeling sorry

Just time for being strong

When you get where your going

The roads still long



Now I see where I come from

Now I see where I am

Now I see that you never really know

So you just gotta do the best you can

And that aint wrong

Ooo that aint wrong

Cause when you get where youre going

The roads still long

When you get where youre going

The roads still long

When you get where youre going yea
