[Verse 1]
Takes a long to get where you're goin’
When you're drivin' on your last spare
Makin’ stops along the way
Headin' down the interstate for days, uh-huh

Time's a-tickin' up ahead
Stoplight flashin' from green to red
Watchin' other cars drive past
As you're runnin' out of gas, mm-hmm

[Chorus]
Gonna get there, when the gettin’s gettin’ good
Gonna get there, when the gettin's gettin’ good
We're all goin' on a journey, one push is all it takes
Gonna get there, don't hit the brakеs

[Verse 2]
What’s a middle without an end?
What's a friendship without a friеnd?
The answer's right in front of you
When you're runnin' out of fuel around the bend
'Round the bend

[Chorus]
Gonna get there, when the gettin's gettin' good
Gonna get there, when the gettin's gettin' good
We're all goin' on a journey, one push is all it takes
Gonna get there, don't hit the brakes
(Here I go now!) (Take it!)
[Bridge]
[?] got nothin' but a tire with no tread
You gotta put the pedal to the metal
You gotta take a deeper breath
Road maps are pure suggestion
Follow your own direction
Up ahead
Up ahead

[Pre-Chorus]
Gonna get there, when the gettin's gettin' good (Hey, you got it, man!)
Get there, when the gettin's gettin' good
Come on!

[Chorus]
We're gonna get there, when the gettin's gettin' good
Gonna get there, when the gettin's gettin' good
We're all goin' on a journey, one push is all it takes
Gonna get there, don't hit the brakes (One more time)
Gonna get there, don't hit the brakes
