When I Get Where I'm Going

Performed By: Brad Paisley
Featuring: Dolly Parton
Written By: George Teren and Rivers Rutherford 
Album: Time Well Wasted (2005)


When I get where I'm going,
On the far side of the sky,
The first thing 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 its like,
To ride a drop of rain




(Chorus)
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 grand daddy parents
And he'll they'll match me step for step.
And I'll tell him them how I missed him them,
Every minute since he they left,
Then I'll hug his their neck.











(Repeat chorus)
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,
And 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'
When I get where I'm goin'
There'll be only happy tears.

Hallelujah,
I will love and have no fear.

When I get where I'm Goin'...





My song choice is a tribute to a dear friend of mine who tragically lost her son yesterday.
He was only 28 years old.
My heart aches for my friend and her family.

  3. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes - this is beautiful! I was crying even before I read why you chose this particular song.
    So sorry to hear of your friend's loss.

    I had not realized during my previous visits that your blogs title is a song as well. :) I'm going to miss this meme. Thanks for always leaving wonderful comments on my choices.

  4. Beautiful tribute. The tears are flowing, they have been flowing so easily since Tuesday night. Love and prayers for them.....and thank you for sharing this. This is the song we chose to put with Ricks video. And I know our friend had a better place to go too. I heard him tell it once. <3
