The night before I turned
I knew better than to dream of waking
up to shiny chrome and steel.
Cause dad had made it clear
neighbors down the street
who bought their son a brand
When morning came, man, I was shocked
I looked out in the drive
Wrapped around Daddy's old blue cord
Well, I thought, he must be kidding me
But when he handed me the keys
He proudly smiled and said,
It'll get you where you're going
It'll take you where you need to be
You know down through the years,
And it's been faithful to me
I know it don't look like much
It's old and a little beat up
It'll get you where you're
Well at eighteen 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
It'll get you where you're going
It'll take you where you need to be
You know down through the years, son
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 going
It'll get you where you're going
It'll take you where you need to be
You know down through the years, son,
I know it don't look like much,
it's old and a little beat up
It'll get you where you're going
I know it don't look like much,
it's old and a little beat up
It'll get you where you're go ing
