A wedding day is maybe twelve hours

But if you don't love the one that you planned it with

It's just money spent on flowers

And that fish you catch, it'll catch you an eight-second high

But if you don't love the day spent with your dad

It's just bait and tangled lines

And a Grammy speech is just two minutes

For twenty years of work

So if you don't love the band, the broke down van

Then tell what it's worth

Maybe getting there is getting good

And loving what you got

And maybe living well is loving life

From the bottom to the top

Yeah, songs will sound just a little bit sweeter

Grass will look just a little bit greener

With the windows down, feeling the air

Yeah, life will look real good from just about anywhere

If you love the getting there

It takes a couple years to save up for a house

But without Christmas dinners and baby pictures

It's just money down

And that view from the top of the corporate ladder

House on the hill that you're always after

Ain't gonna do the trick if you don't love who you do it with

Turns out getting there is getting good

And loving what you got

And maybe living well is loving life

From the bottom to the top

Yeah, songs will sound just a little bit sweeter

Grass will look just a little bit greener

With the windows down, feeling the air

Yeah, life will look real good from just about anywhere

If you love the getting there

Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter

Grass will look just a little bit greener

With the windows down, feeling the air

That bank account will look a whole lot richer

Missing out won't taste so bitter

If you enjoy the ride, let life take you anywhere

You'll see getting there is getting good

And loving what you got

And maybe living well is loving life

From the bottom to the top

Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter

Grass will look just a little bit greener

With the windows down, feeling the air

Yeah, life will look real good from just about anywhere

If you love the getting there

If you love the getting there

Songs will sound just a little bit sweeter

If you love the getting there
