Josh Brabender - 'It's Not About the Destination...'

They say it’s all about the journey, I used to disagree.
Because I loved the destination but now I start to see
That when I finally get there, I think about the time
When we out sang the radio and thought we sounded fine.
The many fights that made dad say “I’ll turn this thing around! ”
And how easy we’d make him laugh to calm him right back down.
The countless times we took a stop to stretch our legs was great,
Because space can get pretty tight when the car is packed with eight.
We all took turns to close our eyes and have a little nap
Or listen to who ever drives get lost and blame the map.
Oh how I love it in the car when we're all having fun
So how I hate when we arrive and all of that is done.
Next to the pool, with earphones in, those times I can't recall
But memories of getting always do stand tall.
So Destination, here we are, but not as a family.
And as for me, I now agree, it’s all in the journey.
