Mom's Song

When I Get Where I'm Going lyrics


Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton

When I get where I'm going

On the far side of the sky

The first thing that I'm gonna do

Is spread my wings and fly



I'm gonna land beside a lion

And run my fingers through his mane

Or I might find out what it's like

To ride a drop of rain



[Chorus]

Yeah when I get where I'm going

There'll be only happy tears

I will shed the sins and struggles

I have carried all these years

And I'll leave my heart wide open

I will love and have no fear

Yeah when I get where I'm going

Don't cry for me down here



I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy

And he'll match me step for step

And I'll tell him how I missed him

Every minute since he left

Then I'll hug his neck



[Repeat chorus]



So much pain and so much darkness

In this world we stumble through

All these questions I can't answer

So much work to do



But when I get where I'm going

And I see my maker's face

I'll stand forever in the light

Of his amazing grace

Yeah when I get where I'm going

There'll be only happy tears

Hallelujah

I will love and have no fear

When I get where I'm going

Yeah when I get where I'm going
