[Verse 1]
Takes a long time to get where you're goin’
When you're drivin' on your last spare
Makin’ stops along the way
Headin' down the interstate for days, uh-huh
Time's a-tickin' up ahead
Stoplight flashin' from green to red
Watchin' other cars drive past
As you're runnin' out of gas, mm-hmm

[Chorus]
Gonna get there when the gettin’s gettin’ good
Gonna get there when the gettin's gettin’ good
We're all goin' on a journey, one push is all it takes
Gonna get there, don't hit thе brakes

[Verse 2]
What’s a middle without an end?
What's a friеndship without a friend?
The answer's right in front of you when you're runnin' out of fuel
Around the bend, 'round the bend

[Chorus]
Gonna get there when the gettin's gettin' good
Gonna get there when the gettin's gettin' good
We're all goin' on a journey, one push is all it takes
Gonna get there, don't hit the brakes (Here I go now! Take it!)
[Bridge]
Speed bumps ain't got nothin' on a tire with no tread
You gotta put the pedal to the metal, you gotta take a deeper breath
Road maps are pure suggestion, follow your own direction
Up ahead, up ahead

[Pre-Chorus]
Gonna get there when the gettin's gettin' good, haha (Hey, you got it, man!)
Get there when the gettin's gettin' good, come on!

[Chorus]
Gonna get there when the gettin's gettin' good
Gonna get there when the gettin's gettin' good
We're all goin' on a journey, one push is all it takes
Gonna get there, don't hit the brakes (One more time)

[Outro]
Gonna get there, don't hit the brakes
