I Know Where I'M Goin'
If I'm movin'
I know where I'm goin'
those are the lessons of my life -
times I've seen, me and my wife,
down that road together
no matter what the weather
many a day, some filled with strife -
but still I keep on movin'
'cause when I'm movin'
I know where I'm goin'
that's been my life.
For three score and 10 plus a few more thrown in
that's all I been doin'
just keep'n on movin'
'cause when I'm movin'
I know where I'm goin'
yes sir, that's been my life.
I've seen good days and bad
some that truly were sad
but through it all
I kept on movin'
cause when I'm movin'
I know where I'm goin'
that's been my life.
There's been days of tears
and some smiles too
it's easier to smile
and causes less wrinkles too
I look at the good side
'cause life has a flip one
and there's nothing to see
on the dark side,
but an unhappy me.
So why should I choose to be sad in life
when I got a smilin', good natured wife.
The roads not all rocky
the paths not all rough
all you got to do
is hang mean and tough.
That's why I keep on movin'
'cause when I'm movin'
I know where I'm goin'
that's been my life.
It's not so hard to be happy
no, not when you're me,
just keep on smilin'
as I keep on movin'
'cause when I'm movin'
I know where I'm goin'
and that's been my life.
Some folks ask me
how long my life will be
tell 'em I have no idea
'cause that's for God to see,
all I do
is keep on movin'..
'cause when I'm movin'
I know where I'm goin'....
...and that's been my life.
