Getting Good

Once I fall in love then I'll be happy

But then you fall in love and there's still a hole

Once I get some money it'll all be easy

But then you get that money, you still feel broke

Once I get a little older, I won't worry

Then you get older and it don't feel like it should

I'm thinking once I learn to grow right where I'm planted

Maybe that's when life starts getting good

Once I get a car that don't stall in the morning

I can make it anywhere I want, just wait

But I can see it right now sitting in my driveway

Afraid if I take it out, I'll chip the paint

Once I get a house that I can hang my hat on

I bet I'll want to build a bigger one if I could, yeah

I'm thinking, once I learn to grow right where I'm planted

Maybe that's when life starts getting good

Oh, getting good

Getting good

Life starts getting good

I'm thinking maybe that's when life starts getting good

I'm afraid of both my parents dying

I call my dad, he answers right away

And I didn't hear a word 'cause I was thinking

About what hasn't happened yet but will someday

And we hang up the phone before I know it

I'm crying over the conversation my fear took

I'm thinking once I learn to soak up every moment

I'll realise my life's already good

Already good

Already good

Life's already good

I'll realise my life's already good

Thank God that my life's already good
