You got a memory of your mama
She was hanging up some laundry on the line
And you told her she was pretty
And you seen the way it almost made her cry
Now the lights here in this hallway
Are really bringing out the years and all the lines
But if you look behind the decades
You can still see your mama in her prime
The whole point of getting there is in the act of getting there
There ain't no way to pay your fare without a little pain
You can kick and scream and fuss and fight
You can rip and rage and roar all night
But there ain't no shortcut to the light, you're gonna
Have to take the long way around
Uncle Jim was in the Navy
And your mama told you stories of heroic things he did
But on the day that he turned 80
He gave away all of his medals to the kids
He said it ain't that satisfying
To have a closet full of proof that you was brave
Ah, but man, when I was flying
You know, it felt like I would never see a grave
The whole point of getting there is in the act of getting there
There ain't no way to pay your fare without a little pain
You can kick and scream and fuss and fight
You can rip and rage and roar all night
But there ain't no shortcut to the light, you're gonna
Have to take the long way around
You're gonna have to take the long way around
Take the long, long way around
