It'll Get You Where You're Goin' lyrics

The night before I turned 16 I knew better than to dream Of waking up to shiny chrome and steel 'Cause Dad had made it clear that we Weren't like the neighbors down the street Who bought there son a brand new set of wheels When morning came I was shocked Looked out in the drive and saw A red ribbon wrapped 'round daddy's old blue ford Well I thought he must be kidding me But when he handed me the keys He proudly smiled and said Son, she's all yours It'll get you where you're goin' It'll take you where you need to be You know down through the years son it's been faithful to me I know it don't look like much It's old and a little beat up But there's peace of mind in knowing It'll get you where you're goin' Well at 18 like young men do Took one last glance at my old room Tears filled mama's eyes the day I left Dad didn't have a dime to spare But he showed me how much he cared When he handed me his bible and he said I know it don't look like much It's old and a little beat up But there's peace of mind in knowing It'll get you where you're goin'
