| I woke up thirty three, not quite where I thought I’d be
|
| Fell short of a lot of dreams and expectations that are put on me
|
| A lot of those things I thought I’d need
|
| Don’t mean as much as I thought they’d mean
|
| I sure got far away from where I’d say I’d be today
|
| But I’m closer to right where I should have been
|
| To the man I really am and to the friends who call me friend
|
| And I’m even closer to the woman that I love, to my faith in God above
|
| I’m still not sure exactly where it is I’m goin'
|
| But I’m closer, little bit closer
|
| Well, I guess at some point that switch turned off
|
| And I stopped being the man I’m not
|
| But counting on what I ain’t got
|
| And I found a faith somewhere I lost
|
| And got closer to right where I should have been
|
| To the man I really am and to the friends who call me friend
|
| And I’m even closer to the family I left behind
|
| And that world I’d thought I’d find
|
| When I left it thinkin' there was something more
|
| Yet I’m closer, closer
|
| I woke up thirty three, not quite where I thought I’d be
|
| Closer to right where I should have been
|
| To the man I really am and to the friends who call me friend
|
| And I’m even closer to the woman that I love, to my faith in God above
|
| I’m still not sure exactly where it is I’m goin'
|
| But I’m closer, closer, I’m gettin' closer |
