Takes a long time to get at where you're goin'
When you're drivin' on your last spare.
Makin' stops along the way,
Headin' down the interstate for days,
Uh-huh.
Time's a tickin', up ahead.
Stoplight flashing from green to red.
Watchin' other cars drive past,
As you're running out of gas.
Mm-hmm.
Gonna get there, when the getting's gettin' good.
Gonna get there, when the getting's gettin' good.
We're all goin' on a journey,
One push is all it takes.
Gonna get there,
Don't hit the brakes.
What's a middle, without an end?
What's a friendship, without a friend?
The answer's right in front of you,
When you're runnin' outta fumes around the bend,
'Round the bend.
Gonna get there, when the getting's gettin' good.
Gonna get there, when the getting's gettin' good.
We're all goin' on a journey,
One push is all it takes.
Gonna get there,
Don't hit the brakes
[Harmonica solo]
Don't think I'm nothin',
But a tire with no tread.
Gotta put the pedal to the metal,
Gotta take a deeper breath,
Whoa
That's just your suggestion,
Follow your own direction up ahead.
Up ahead.
Gonna get there,
When the getting's gettin' good.
Get there,
When the getting's gettin' good.
Gonna get there when the getting's gettin' good.
Gonna get there, when the getting's gettin' good.
We're all goin' on a journey,
One push is all it takes.
Gonna get there,
Don't hit the brakes.
Gonna get there,
Don't hit the brakes…
