Almost There

Lyrics

Verse 1

Got the truck all packed by sunrise
Three little boys buckled in
Backseat full of fishing poles
And enough snacks to feed ten men

We barely made it past the city sign
Before the questions filled the air
"Dad, how much longer's Grandpa's house?"
I smiled and said, "We're almost there."

Chorus

Almost there...
That's what my daddy used to say
Every mile seemed a hundred long
When I was their age

Now I'm the one behind the wheel
Tryin' to show a little care
Three little voices askin',
"Dad... are we there?"

"Almost there."

Verse 2

One's countin' every red barn
One's asleep against the glass
One's convinced every water tower
Means we've finally made it at last

Then another little voice pipes up,
"Dad, how much farther now?"
I looked up at the old road sign
And couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chorus

Almost there...
That's what my daddy used to say
Every mile seemed a hundred long
When I was their age

Now I'm the one behind the wheel
Tryin' to show a little care
Three little voices askin',
"Dad... are we there?"

"Almost there."

Bridge

Funny how a few short miles
Can carry so many years
I can still hear my own small voice
Ringing in my daddy's ears

Now I know why he'd always grin
Every single time I'd ask
He wasn't just enjoyin' the trip...
He knew it wouldn't last.

Final Chorus

Almost there...
Grandma's waitin' on the porch
Grandpa's already by the shop
Wonderin' what's takin' us so long

Three little boys jump from the truck
Before I can park it square
Guess we really are...

Almost there.

Yeah, funny how life comes around...

One day they'll be drivin'
And somebody in their backseat
Will ask...

"Dad... are we there yet?"

And they'll smile...

"Almost there."
