[Verse 1]
His car never started on the very first time
But today, it did
He never thought of time as something money could buy
But today, it did
Stacked on his front seat was a fresh pile of twenties
Taken from the bank in the suburbs are plenty
A highway never bought him ten miles of freedom
But today, it did
Today, it did
[Verse 2]
He never thought that a memory would play tricks on his mind
But today, it did
He never thought that the past would leave him so far behind
But today, it did
Tell her on the floor with a note in her hand
Begging not to send her to the promised land
He never thought that his conscience would tell him a lie
But today, it did
Today, it did
Yeah, today it did
[Verse 3]
He never thought that his destiny would take him for a ride
But today, it did
He never thought that the law would ever skin his hide
But today, it did
There, sat his lover at the back of the courtroom
She winced when the gavels cracked the gates of doom
She never thought her words would ever make the headlines
But today, they did
Yeah, today, they did
Today, they did
[Verse 4]
He never thought that his soul would ever need a priest
But today, it did
He never thought his mouth would ever eat his last feast
But today, it did
The lights dimmed for a minute, and then they were gone
Not anything like he'd ever planned on
He never thought that the truth would ever do him in
But today, it did
Yeah, today, it did
Today, it did
[Outro]
Today, it did
Today, it did
