You can't change your shoes until they've been split
You can't sing the blues until you've been in it
And you can't count the miles until you've been anywhere
All the while never arriving, always getting there
You can't change a memory in time
You can't stop the world on a dime
You've never lost if you consider your life fair
All the while never arriving, always getting there
[Chorus:]
Only getting there, only getting there
I'm never arriving, always getting there
Only getting there, only getting there
I'm never arriving, always getting there
No matter the mountain that stands tall
You never know until you've climbed 'em all
On the other side you finding it lying there
All the while never arriving, always getting there
[Chorus]
I'm never arriving, always getting there
