Getting Good

Once I fall in love, then I'll be happy But then you fall in love and there's still a hole Once I get some money, it'll all be easy But then you get that money, you still feel broke Once I get a little older, I won't worry Then you get older and it don't feel like it should I'm thinking once I learn to grow right where I'm planted Maybe that's when life starts getting good Once I get a car that don't stall in the morning I can make it anywhere I want, just wait But I can see it right now, sitting in my driveway Afraid if I take it out, I'll chip the paint Once I get a house that I can hang my hat on I bet I'll want to build a bigger one if I could, yeah I'm thinking, once I learn to grow right where I'm planted Maybe that's when life starts getting good Oh, getting good Getting good Life starts getting good I'm thinking maybe that's when life starts getting good (That's when life starts getting good, oh) Hey, yeah I'm afraid of both my parents dying I call my dad, he answers right away And I didn't hear a word 'cause I was thinking About what hasn't happened yet but will someday And we hang up the phone before I know it I'm crying over the conversation my fear took I'm thinking once I learn to soak up every moment I'll realize my life's already good Already good Already good Life's already good I'll realize my life's already good Thank God that my life's already good
