Country Music Lyrics

When I get where I'm going

When I get where I'm going - Brad Paisely 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

Yeah when I get where I'm going
They'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 granddaddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I've missed him every minute since he left
And then I'll hug his neck

Yeah when I get where I'm going
They'll be only happy tears
I'll shed my 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

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
And 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
They'll be only happy tears
I will love and have no fear

Yeah when I get where I'm going
