[Verse 1]
Once I fall in love, then I'll be happy
But then you fall in love and there's still a hole
Once I get some money, it'll all be easy
But then you get that money, you still feel broke

[Chorus 1]
Once I get a little older, I won't worry
Then you get older and it don't feel like it should
I'm thinkin' once I learn to grow right where I'm planted
Maybe that's when life starts getting good

[Verse 2]
Once I get a car that don't stall in the morning
I can make it anywhere I want, just wait
But I can see it right now, sittin' in my driveway
Afraid if I take it out, I'll chip the paint

[Chorus 2]
Once I get a house that I can hang my hat on
I bet I'll wanna build a bigger one if I could, yeah
I'm thinkin', once I learn to grow right where I'm planted
Maybe that's when life starts getting good

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, getting good
Getting good
Life starts getting good
I'm thinkin' maybe that's when life starts getting good
(That's when life starts getting good, oh, oh)
Hey, yeah
[Bridge]
I'm afraid of both my parents dying
I call my dad, he answers right away
And I didn't hear a word 'cause I was thinkin'
About what hasn't happened yet but will someday

[Verse 3]
And we hang up the phone before I know it
I'm cryin' over the conversation my fear took
I'm thinkin' once I learn to soak up every moment
I'll realize my life's already good

[Outro]
Already good
Already good
Life's already good
I'll realize my life's already good
Thank God that my life's already good
