Almost There

Spent so long as a housewife
Living my life just for you
Any dreams that I had
I forgot about 'em
If you told me to

And I went through the motions
Like I didn't mind them
I knew things were missing
But I was too scared to find them

So I said to myself
"You ain't living the life that you deserve," No
Always had the will
But I wasn't sure about the nerve
But I got on up and walked out that door
Headed for the street not knowing what for

Now I'm almost there
On the edge of being happy
I'm almost there
I'm on the brink of something new
And I got your love and land to roam
If you wanna take me home
Then all I need is respect from you
And all I need is respect from you

Beat up car driving
But I don't know where I'm going
And I've come so far and so far
The best part has been not knowing
And the end of the road is almost in sight
I don't know where I'm headed
But I know that I'm alright

And I'm almost there
I'm on the edge of being happy
I'm almost there
I'm on the brink of something new
And I got your love and land to roam
If you wanna take me home
Then all I need is respect from you
And all I need is respect from you

And it's not that I don't love you
Oh, 'cause I do
You know that I do, yeah
I just got places to go
Whether or not you wanted me to

I've come so far
I traveled down the road I had to take
And I may turn back
But this time I won't make the same mistake
So when I come back home
And walk through that door
Things'll be different
They're not gonna be like before!

And I'm almost there
I'm on the edge of being happy
I'm almost there
I'm on the brink of something new
And I got your love and land to roam
If you wanna take me home
Then all I need is respect from you

I'm almost there, yeah!
And I'm almost there, whoa yeah, yeah, yeah
And I've got your love and land to roam
If you wanna take me home
Then all I need is respect from you
And all I need is respect from you, ooh
