When I was in college my class went on a trip to a place down the road where the county kept delinquent kids An old man with a badge said to the class And here we have all kinds of trash. I could not believe what I just heard, at first I wasnt gonna say a word [Chorus] Its not where you been, its where youre going. Its not who you were back then, its who you are at this moment Kinda like looking at an old photograph, remembering way back when Its not where you been, its where youre going I said Excuse me, sir. I know you wont remember me. But try to imagine how I looked when Id just turned 15 Defiant, scared, and confused, dirty clothes and tattoos, nothing really left to lose You see the last door on the right? Sir that door used to be mine. [Chorus] Its not where you been, its where youre going. Its not who were back then, its who you are at this moment Kinda like looking at an old photograph, remembering way back when Its not where you been, its where youre going We all have a story we can tell. Somes been lost, some hurt, some of us have been through hell Well the past is a ghost, a door thats been closed, the start of a winding road And I know without a doubt, that doesnt matter now, cause... [Chorus] Its not where you been, its where youre going. Its not who you were back then, its who you are at this moment Kinda like looking at an old photograph, remembering way back when Its not where you been, its where youre going You might also likeIts where youre going Its where youre going Where youre going Where youre going Oh yeah...
