Brothers Wilber and Orville Wright Built wings out of wood and steel Folks said that thing'll never fly They said watch, I bet it will We've been dyfyin' gravity now goin' on a hundred years It was paper wings, faith and dreams That's how we got from there to here A nickel brought a soda pop way back then And a movie only cost a dime He came home with a scar and a purple heart She waited all that time Today they'll cut a golden wedding cake How'd they made it all those years It had to be tough, they just said it was love That's how they got from there to here You either do or you don't believe That it can or can't be done An ounce of faith and a touch of grace And it can happen to anyone Four boys, lotsa noise, two-car garage Hey, turn those guitars down They couldn't know that the world would grow In time to love that sound They headed out, in a beat up van And a U-Haul packed full of gear The road was long, but the will was strong That's how they got from there to here Yeah, they got a bus but you can bet they'd walk Just to hear another crowd cheer It was a song and a prayer and a lotta luck and you That got us from there to here
