Country music stars Lauren Alaina and Trisha Yearwood have joined forces for a special version of Lauren’s latest feel-good tune, “Getting Good.” The two women hit it off instantly when Lauren recently appeared on an episode of Trisha’s Southern Kitchen. The idea of “singing together sometime” came up and resulted in a beautiful new version of “Getting Good.”
“I just love the sentiment of this song,” Yearwood explains. “We all have these dreams. What you learn, is it’s not the goals that you reach that are the things you’re really going to remember, it’s the journey all along the way. So that lyric – once I learn to grow right where I’m planted, maybe that’s when life starts getting good – that’s the truth. That’s the life lesson.”
“I’m so thankful that I get to share such an important message with one of the most important and impactful voices in my life,” says Lauren. “Trisha is a beautiful person inside and out. I’m honored she said yes to this song and to me. I’m learning to grow right where I’m planted, and I’m realizing, life’s already good.”

“Getting Good” Lyrics
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
Once I get a little older, I won’t worry
Then you get older and it don’t feel like it should
I’m thinking once I learn to grow right where I’m planted
Maybe that’s when life starts getting good
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 sitting in my driveway
Afraid if I take it out, I’ll chip the paint
Once I get a house that I can hang my hat on
I bet I’ll want to build a bigger one if I could, yeah
I’m thinking, once I learn to grow right where I’m planted
Maybe that’s when life starts getting good
Oh, getting good
Getting good
Life starts getting good
I’m thinking maybe that’s when life starts getting good
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 thinking
About what hasn’t happened yet but will someday
And we hang up the phone before I know it
I’m crying over the conversation my fear took
I’m thinking once I learn to soak up every moment
I’ll realize my life’s already good
Already good
Already good
Life’s already good
I’ll realize my life’s already good
Thank God that my life’s already good
