Sean McConnell - Getting Somewhere Lyrics

My father he's a good man
It took a while to understand
That we all do the best we can with what we can

He might of had too much to drink
I can hear the ice cubes clinking
In the kitchen while he smoked into the window fan
But I never wanted for a word
And I swallowed everything I heard
And I hold it like its gold and hear it all again


Chorus:
Keep your hands on the ten and the two
Keep your eye on the ball and follow through
When you fall get up, there's no such thing as luck
And though I pray you never do
If you get a little lost just say a prayer
And don't spend your whole life getting somewhere

Some people have a hole to fill
They try and try but never will
Cause they never got the love that we were built to have

But I never had a day go by
He didn't look me in the eye
Said I love you, I'm proud of you
And I always will

Chorus:
Keep your hands on the ten and the two
Keep your eye on the ball and follow through
When you fall get up, there's no such thing as luck
And though I pray you never do
If you get a little lost just say a prayer
And don't spend your whole life getting somewhere


Bridge:
He'd say on a scale from one to ten
How's your heart and how you been?
He still gets around to askin' every now and then

Chorus:
Keep your hands on the ten and the two
Keep your eye on the ball and follow through
When you fall get up, there's no such thing as luck
You know I pray you never do
If you get a little lost just say a prayer
And don't spend your whole life getting somewhere
