[Verse 1]
A wedding day is maybe twelve hours
But if you don't love the one that you planned it with
It's just money spent on flowers
And that fish you catch, it'll get you an eight-second high
But if you don't love the day you spend with your dad
It's just bait and tangled lines
And a Grammy speech is just two minutes
For twenty years of work
So if you don't love the band in the broke down van
Then tell what it's worth
[Chorus]
Maybe getting there is getting good
And loving what you got
And maybe living well is loving life
From the bottom to the top
Yeah songs will sound just a little bit sweeter
Grass will look just a little bit greener
With the windows down, feeling the air
Yeah life will look real good from just about anywhere
If you love the getting there
[Verse 2]
It takes a couple years to save up for a house
But without Christmas dinners and baby pictures
It's just money down
And that view from the top of the corporate ladder
House on the hill that you're always after
Ain't gonna do the trick if you don't love who you do it with
[Chorus]
Turns out getting there is getting good
And loving what you got
And maybe living well is loving life
From the bottom to the top
Yeah songs will sound just a little bit sweeter
Grass will look just a little bit greener
With the windows down, feeling the air
Yeah life will look real good from just about anywhere
If you love the getting there
[Bridge]
Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter
Grass will look just a little bit greener
With the windows down, feeling the air
That bank account will look a whole lot richer
Missing out won't taste so bitter
If you enjoy the ride, let life take you anywhere
[Chorus]
You'll see getting there is getting good
And loving what you got
And maybe living well is loving life
From the bottom to the top
Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter
Grass will look just a little bit greener
With the windows down, feeling the air
Yeah life will look real good from just about anywhere
If you love the getting there
If you love the getting there
[Outro]
Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter
If you love the getting there
