We all know the rough piece of history That we like to remain a mystery About lessons learned and ugly words Bridges burned and we can't return To the house of love in the cloud of dust You can throw the book at all of us It's clear as mud when you're young and dumb Can't outrun, what's done is done It's not where you've been With stop right here, there's no way of knowin' It ain't where you've been It's where you're goin' Sitting out underneath the old lamp post When you came creeping out of your window We were tempting fate with our late night date Coming round third base heading for home play When the front porch light came screaming on And your daddy 'bout tore the screen door down Saying move along, can't be wrong Said so long and we get far gone It's not where you've been Keep movin' on when the wind is blowin' It ain't where you've been It's where you're goin' Don't carry your bags to the end of the line Just drop them off and enjoy the ride The road they know, high and low Stone by stone, fast or slow It's not where you've been No lookin' back, there's no signs of slowin' It ain't where you've been It's where you're goin' It's not where you've been With stop right here, there's no way of knowin' It ain't where you've been It's where you're goin' Where you're goin' Ah yeah
