Lyrics

Grandma had a saying for most everything
Words of wisdom tied up in a phrase
She'd sing 'em all in little songs
The do's the Don't's the right's the wrong's
Lived 'em to until her dying days
And sometimes when this world get rough
they have a way of popping up
And in my heart I can hear her say.
(Chorus)
It's more the going than the get there
But you can't know it until you've been there
It's a long long life, you've got time to get it right
But you"ve gotta' hang in there.

There's a man who walks the streets of Nashville
Waving wearing old thrift store clothes
They he used to be a millionaire
He kept it all in his Fridgedere
His house burned down and it all went up in smoke
Now you're like to see him anywhere
He'll wave at you and offer prayer
They say he's crazy
I just think he knows
(Chorus)
It's more the going than the get there
But you can't know it until you've been there
It's a long long life, you've got time to get it right
But you"ve gotta' hang in there.
(Bridge)
Now there's a star falling through the night sky
With a wink it dances across the moon
Stepping out with one last burst into the unknown universe
And as it goes it hums this little tune.. says
(Chorus)
It's more the going than the get there
But you can't know it until you've been there
It's a long long life, you've got time to get it right
But you"ve gotta' hang in there.
It's a long long life you've got time to get it right so you better hang in there...just hang in there.
