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
