I'll Know When I Get There

From town to town, an' job to job

Livin' in cars 'n parkin' lots

A good hot meal an' a place to sleep

Are things you miss when you're chasin' dreams

Playin' 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

Callin' cards in old payphones

Momma cries: "When you comin' home

"Do you need any money? Are you sure?

"Are you eatin' well? Are you goin' to Church?"

"GAC, CMT...

"We still ain't seen you on TV

"We keep turnin' on that radio

"Still wantin' 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 givin' it all I've got

And I'll know when I get there

From town to town, an' job to job

Livin' in cars 'n parkin' lots

A good hot meal an' a place to sleep

Are things you miss when you're chasin' dreams

It's hard to tell just where you're at

When you're lookin' for somethin' 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

Livin' in cars on parkin' 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
