It'Ll Get You Where You'Re Goin'

The night before I turned sixteen
I knew better than to dream
Of wakin' up to shiny chrome and steel
'Cause Dad had made it clear that
We weren't like the neighbors down the street
Who bought their son a brand new set of wheels

When mornin' came, I was shocked
Looked out in the drive
And saw red ribbon wrapped 'round Daddy's old blue Ford
Well, I thought he must be kiddin' me
But when he handed me the keys
He proudly smiled and said, "Son, she's all yours"

It'll get you where you're goin'
It'll take you where you need to be
You know, down through the years, son
It's been faithful to me
I know it don't look like much
It's old and a little beat up
But there's peace of mind in knowin'
It'll get you where you're goin'

Well, at eighteen, like young men do
Took one last glance at my old room
Tears filled Mama's eyes the day I left
Dad didn't have a dime to spare
But he showed me how much he cared
When he handed me his Bible and he said

It'll get you where you're goin'
It'll take you where you need to be
You know, down through the years, son
It's been faithful to me
I know it don't look like much
It's old and a little beat up
But there's peace of mind in knowin'
It'll get you where you're goin', uh-huh

It'll get you where you're goin'
It'll take you where you need to be
You know, down through the years, son
It's been faithful to me
I know it don't look like much
It's old and a little beat up
But there's peace of mind in knowin'
It'll get you where you're goin'

I know it don't look like much
It's old and a little beat up
But there's peace of mind in knowin'
It'll get you where you're goin'
