It could be a fast car, flying down a dirt road It could be a slow song, playing on the radio It could be a picture of a place you love Or some memory that you hold It doesn't matter what it is If it gets you where you wanna go It could be a jet plane, flying through the blue sky It could be a weekend, walking on the wild side It could be a candlelight with emerald eyes Or a single red rose It doesn't matter what it is If it gets you where you wanna go If you wanna go back, if you wanna move on If you wanna get lost, if you wanna go home If there's a will then there's a way to get there If you wanna stay close, if you wanna go far Go on ahead and follow your heart One thing I know is we're all going somewhere It could be a cold beer, talking to an old friend It could be your mama's house, and how it hasn't change one bit It could be a silent prayer to the man upstairs That lightens up your soul It doesn't matter what it is If it gets you where you wanna go If you wanna go back, if you wanna move on If you wanna get lost, if you wanna go home If there's a will then there's a way to get there If you wanna stay close, if you wanna go far Go on ahead and follow your heart One thing I know is we're all going somewhere You're on the right road If it gets you where you wanna go Yeah you're on the right road If it gets you where you wanna go
