Testo Getting There - Eli "Paperboy" Reed
Testo della canzone Getting There (Eli "Paperboy" Reed), tratta dall'album Getting There
When I was eight years old I used to follow Dad around
Watch him replace spark plugs and put fence posts in the ground
He would tell me try your best at everything you do
But I know that he wasn't sure his message made it through
Every time I screwed things up he'd smile and shake his head
Pick me up there on his knee and this is what he said
Watch where you're going, not where you've been
Keep one eye on your enemies and one eye on your friends
Always look 'em in the eye but it's impolite to stare
That's it son, you're getting there
That summer after high school I met a pretty girl
The fact she even knew my name put my heart in a whirl
Every time I tried to talk my words would be a mess
I couldn't take much more, my heart couldn't stand the stress
But then just when I thought I wouldn't even get a glance
I caught her smile at me and I knew I had a chance and I thought
Watch where you're going, not where you've been
Keep one eye on your enemies and one eye on your friends
Always look 'em in the eye but it's impolite to stare
That's it son, you're getting there
Oh, you know you're getting there
And boy that's anywhere but here
Trying to make your best better
And conquer all your fears
Keep your head held high
Even when life don't play fair
That's it son, you're getting there
Sittin' in that hospital just waiting for the word
I could feel my own heart racing when the doctor's voice I heard
Then my eyes they filled with tears so much I couldn't see
And a tiny hand wrapped 'round my thumb knocked me to my knees
I bowed my head and kissed her and began to pray
That she would always understand these words that I would say
Watch where you're going, not where you've been
Keep one eye on your enemies and one eye on your friends
Always look 'em in the eye but it's impolite to stare
That's it girl, you're getting there
Oh, that's it girl, yeah
You're getting there
Oh, you're getting there
Just try it again one more time
Oh, you're getting there
You can do it
You're getting there
Just like riding a bike
Oh, you'll get it next time
Oh, that's it girl, yeah
