Not The Destination

We're driving Sunday morning
On our way down to the sea
On a dusty two-lane road
I got a truck in front of me
He's going slow, there's no way past
It's driving me insane
You say honey just relax
You know we'll get there either way

And you say...

We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination
We don't need to rush right now
You don't need the aggravation
Let's take our time, enjoy the drive
It's beautiful to see
We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination

We're sitting having dinner
A little steak, a little wine
The waiter says I'll bring your check
You just take your time
Then he disappears for what seems like
Eternity to me
You smile as I become restless
Wondering where can that guy be

And you say...

We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination
Let's sit a while and talk some more
I really don't mind waitin'
We'll talk about the weather
And have another sip of wine
We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination

Well I'm gettin' a little older
And things ain't workin' like they should
You know I want to please you, honey
Like I always could
The doc says nothin's wrong, old pal
It's probably just stress
You oughta take a nice vacation
And try to get some rest

And you say...

We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination
It's time you learned a little thing
About anticipation
Then you take my hand
You show me 'round
And teach me something new
We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination

The girls are all grown up
And they've got children of their own
Seems like only yesterday
They were nestled in our home
The days pass by so quickly now
Like wind between the trees
I can't help but feel like soon
We'll both be falling leaves

And you say...

We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination
We'll drop in on the kids
We don't need an explanation
You know Jamie's got a brand new job
And Susie's starting to show
We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination

We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination
Life can be so full of little
Moments of elation
If we take the time to really be
With the people that we love
We're in it for the journey, honey
Not the destination
