It's Not The Gettin' There

I wish I had learned this truth many years ago
Be thankful for the days good and bad out on life's road
But the miles become the teacher while the student learns real slow
Traveling blind most of the time whereever you go

It's not the gettin' there, it's the journey everyday
It's not a race to see how many people know your name
One day you realize time was worth more than the gold
It's not the gettin' there when you get there you'll know

Funny how wisdom and youth are always two different games
The years flew by so fast is the common human complaint
The memories in our mind turn to diamonds in our soul
And by the grace of God on down the road we go

It's not the gettin' there, it's the journey everyday
It's not a race to see how many people know your name
One day you realize time was worth more than the gold
It's not the gettin' there when you get there you'll know

It's not the gettin' there, it's the journey everyday
It's not a race to see how many people know your name
One day you realize time was worth more than the gold
It's not the gettin' there when you get there you'll know

One day you realize time was worth more than the gold
It's not the gettin' there when you get there you'll know
It's not the gettin' there when you get there you'll know
