E5
Growing up as a young boy 

Sometimes can be rough 

At six years old I was thinkin 

Seven would be just enough 
              A5
But I was wrong 
              E5
Ooo I was wrong yea 
E5
Ten years old and Im growin 

Thinkin I got it sussed 

Mama said youll be a fine young man 

I thought I already was 
             A5
But I was wrong 
             E5
Ooo I was wrong 
                G5                  A5
Cause when you get where you're going 
                E5
The roads still long 
E5
Eighteen years Im a rebel 

Thinkin Im pretty tough 

Daddy said you got a lot to learn 

I thought that Id learned enough 
              A5
But I was wrong 
              E5
Ooo I was wrong yea 
E5
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 
             A5
But I was wrong 
             E5
Ooo I was wrong 

                G5                 A5
Cause when you get where youre going 
E5
The roads still long 
                G5                 A5 
When you get where youre going 
E5
The roads still long
D5
They all try to tell you 

But who are they to say 
E5
Cause the best things that you learn 

You find out on your way 
D5
No time for feelin sorry 

Just time for being strong 
G5               A5
When you get where your going 
E5
The roads still long

E5
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 
               A5            
And that aint wrong 

Ooo that aint wrong no 
                G5                A5
Cause when you get where youre going 
E5
The roads still long 
                G5                A5
When you get where youre going 
E5
The roads still long 
                G5                A5
When you get where youre going yea
