Lyrics and music by Widespread Panic

Get to where we’re going gonna gas up granny’s car
One wheel in front of the other take Monterey then Mars
Saved up all our dollars hustling in the bars
Tips and jukes and winning hands locked tight in the mason jar
Bit by bit little by little
Mile after mile riding in granny's car
Bit by bit little by little
Truck stops and state lines
On the road to Shangri-La
There's one for the money six here make a show
Three's our lucky number Pops, Junior, and The Holy Ghost
We blew onto the embers watch the fire grow
Breath by breath by breath blow by blow by blow
Bit by bit little by little
Measure for measure bar to bar
Bit by bit little by little
Side by side on the road to Shangri-La
They're gonna ask us how we found it gonna make it in the clear
First gradually then suddenly took almost forty years
Met crooks and fools along the way some saints and heroes too
Some passengers some drivers some stops for barbecue
The journey of an endless soul begins with a baby crawl
Then a ride off in a sunset that never sets at all
Bit by bit little by little
Mile after mile on the road to Shangri-La
Step by step by step
By step by step
