E
Growing up as a young boy 

Sometimes can be rough 

At six years old I was thinkin 

Seven would be just enough 
              A
But I was wrong 
              E
Ooo I was wrong yea 
E
Ten years old and Im growin 

Thinkin I got it sussed 

Mama said youll be a fine young man 

I thought I already was 
             A
But I was wrong 
             E
Ooo I was wrong 
                G                  A
Cause when you get where you're going 
                E
The roads still long 
E
Eighteen years Im a rebel 

Thinkin Im pretty tough 

Daddy said you got a lot to learn 

I thought that Id learned enough 
              A
But I was wrong 
              E
Ooo I was wrong yea 
E
Twenty-five was a good time 

Comin into my own 

Climbed the mountain 

And I reached for the sky 

I thought that I had it all 
             A
But I was wrong 
             E
Ooo I was wrong 

                G                 A
Cause when you get where youre going 
E
The roads still long 
                G                 A 
When you get where youre going 
E
The roads still long
D
They all try to tell you 

But who are they to say 
E
Cause the best things that you learn 

You find out on your way 
D
No time for feelin sorry 

Just time for being strong 
G               A
When you get where your going 
E
The roads still long

Now I see where I come from 

Now I see where I am 

Now I see that you never really know 

So you just gotta do the best you can 
               A            
And that aint wrong 

Ooo that aint wrong no 
                G                A
Cause when you get where youre going 
E
The roads still long 
                G                A
When you get where youre going 
E
The roads still long 
                G                A
When you get where youre going yea
