Gettin' There - Mose Allison

作词：Mose Allison

People ask me questions

'Bout the way I've spent my life

Thirty years in showbiz

Only had one wife

Limousines and swimming pools

I didn't get my share

But I'm not downhearted

I am not downhearted

I'm not downhearted

But I'm getting' there

I'm gettin' there

I'm gettin' there

Did you ever get the feeling

You've been taken for a ride

The big ones eat the low ones

And there's no place left to hide

Just don't drink the water

Try not to breathe the air

But I'm not discouraged

I am not discouraged

I'm not discouraged

But I'm gettin' there

I'm gettin' there

No matter how I'm feeling

I still propose a toast

If you're almost successful

You're better off than most

If I was selling phantasy

I'd be a millionaire

But I'm not disillusioned

I am not disillusioned

I'm not disillusioned

But I'm gettin' there

I'm gettin' there

I'm gettin' there
