Mama, I don't have time for dancing
That's just gonna have to wait a while
Ain't got time for messin' around
You know it's not my style
This whole town can slow you down
People taking the easy way
But I know exactly where I'm going
I'm closer, closer, everyday

And I'm almost there (Almost there), I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy (Almost there), but I don't care
Trials and tribulations, you know I had my share
There ain't nothing gonna stop me now, 'cause I'm almost there

I daddy told me (Told me)
Fairy tales can come true (Mm, mm, mm)
You gotta make 'em happen, it all depends on you (Oh)
So I work real hard, each and everyday (Oh)
Now things for sure are going my way
I'm just doing what I do
Look out boys, I'm coming through

And I'm almost there (Almost there), I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy (Almost there), but I don't care
Trials and tribulations, you know I had my share
But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now, 'cause I'm almost there

I'm almost there, I'm almost there
Trials and tribulations, I've had my share
Climbed every mountain, I've crossed the ri-river
And now I'm almost there

And I'm almost there (Almost there), I'm almost there
People 'round here think I'm crazy (Almost there), but I don't care
Trials and tribulations, I've had my share
But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now, 'cause I'm (Almost there)

Almost there, almost there
People gon' come from everywhere, I'm almost there
Trials and tribulations, I've had my share
But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now, 'cause I'm almost there
Oh, I'm almost there, there, yeah
I'm almost there, yeah, yeah
I'm almost, I'm almost, I'm almost there
