Get There

“Get There”

By: Steve Everett

 

Verse 1

Put on your shoes and an over-sized shirt

We’re going to the show

I got a friend that works at the bar

And our names are at the door

 

Pre-Chorus

I know I don’t have money right now

But there’s lots of room in my bank account

I know you’re looking for a man that’s got a plan

 

Chorus

I don’t pretend to know where I’m going going

I don’t pretend to know where I’m going but I’m sure

I don’t pretend to know where I’m going going

I don’t pretend to know where I’m going

But I’m sure I’ll get there

 

Verse 2

I’m not your Dad or your friends or your brother

I’m an angel when you need and a devil of a lover

And nobody ever made a damn thing giving up

 

Bridge

There’s an old cliché 

The one about the bird and starting early every day

But all it ever meant to me

Was stay away from anything that’s got a beak
