Done It Again...

Brad Paisley has a new cd available on August 16th. You can preview it here. I'm on my way out for a night with the girls and I thought I'd play the new cd while getting things together...then I heard "When I Get Where I'm Going" a song he cut with the aid of Dolly Parton - and began to cry. I don't have time to go into the mountain of thought this song provoked - but I will post the lyrics here. I couldn't find them online, so I had to jot them down as I heard them... Here they are: When I Get Where I'm Going - B. Paisley When I get where I'm goin' On the far side of the sky The first thing that I'm gonna do Is spread my wings and fly I'm gonna land beside a lion And run my fingers through his mane Or I might find out what it's like To ride a drop of rain Yeah, when I get where I'm goin' There'll be only happy tears I will shed the sins and struggles I have carried all these years And I'll leave my heart wide open I will love and have no fear Yeah, when I get where I'm goin' Don't cry for me down here I'm gonna walk with my Grandaddy And he'll match me step for step And I'll tell him how I've missed him Every minute since he left And I'll hug his neck Yeah, when I get where I'm goin' There'll be only happy tears I will shed the sins and struggles I have carried all these years And I'll leave my heart wide open I will love and have no fear Yeah when I get where I'm goin' Don't cry for me down here... So much pain and so much darkness In this world we stumble through All these questions I can't answer So much work to do But when I get where I'm goin' And I see my maker's face I'll stand forever in the light Of his amazing grace Yeah when I get where I'm goin'... There'll be only happy tears... When I get where I'm going'... *I'll write more later...
