Lyrics
[Intro]
Mama, I don't have time for dancin'
That's just gonna have to wait awhile
Ain't got time for messin' around
And it's not my style
This old town can slow you down
People takin' the easy way
But I know exactly where I'm goin'
I'm gettin' closer and closer every day
[Chorus]
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy
But I don't care
Trials and tribulations
I've had my share
There ain't nothin' gonna stop me now
'Cause I'm almost there
[Bridge]
I remember Daddy told me
Fairytales can come true
But you gotta make 'em happen
It all depends on you
So I work real hard each and every day
Now things for sure are goin' my way
Just doin' what I do
Look out, boys, I'm comin' through
[Chorus]
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there
People gon' come here from everywhere
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there
[Outro]
There's been trials and tribulations
You know I've had my share
But I've climbed a mountain, I've crossed a river
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there
I'm almost there
