Before I Get There

How long now have I been here

And how long will I stay?

Got a little more work to do

Before I'm on my way

Tying all of my loose ends

Still got debt to pay

Picking up the pieces

Before I'm on my way

Before I'm on my way

Before I'm on my way

Before I get there

Before I show up

Before I'm somewhere

Before I grow up

I'll be here taking in right now

'Til I'm ready to go

When my time comes along to move on

Then I'll already know

That I'll be ready to go

All the time it ain't gold

And I see it every day

But I got a little more work to do

Before I'm on my way

While I'm still here in the place I lay

I'll be soaking up the moments

Before I'm on my way

Before I get there

Before I show up

Before I'm somewhere

Before I grow up

I'll be here taking in right now

'Til I'm ready to go

When my time comes along to move on

Then I'll already know

That I'll be ready to go

I do believe that the measure of a man

Is the length he will go from the place he began

And I remind myself as I walk across the land

That the less I overstep means the more I understand

Before I get there

Before I show up

Before I'm somewhere

Before I grow up

I'll be here taking in right now

'Til I'm ready to go

When my time comes along to move on

Then I'll already know

That I'll be ready to go

I'll be here taking in right now

'Til I'm ready to go

When my time comes along to move on

Then I'll already know

'Til I'm ready to go
