Here Today

[Verse 1] I’m a lone lost wandering soul tryna find where I belong And I’m lookin’ for a place where it feels alright to be wrong Just a loud-mouth, hard-headed, fool-hearted stubborn old son of a gun Chip off the old block with a chip on my shoulder that weighs a ton All I know for sure is that nothin’ is forever And all that matters is how we get along together Life gets harder every day that I get older Hope I figure out why I’m here before it’s over [Chorus 1] Cause we’re here today and gone tomorrow We’re here today and gone tomorrow Lead the way, never follow Here today, gone tomorrow [Verse 2] I been stuck at home alone on nights when no one calls And I’ve had nights where I can take my pick or have them all And I had those days where I search my pockets for a nickel and a dime And I’ve had those days where tryna make money was a waste of my time I’ve had shiny brand new leather patent loafers And I’ve had torn up bruised old teddies handed over All I know for sure is that nothin’ is forever And all that matters is how we get along together [Chorus 2] Cause we’re here today and gone tomorrow We’re here today and gone tomorrow Through the joy and the sorrow We’re here today and gone tomorrow [Verse 3] We ain’t promised tomorrow So I’m gon’ live for today Been from 5 star hotels to cockroach motels And rode day-whole drive retails to thrift store re-sales I’ve had chauffeured town cars to an old broken down car It ain’t what happens to you it’s what you do about it [Chorus 1]
