Here Today

I'm a long-lost wonderin' soul

Tryin' to find where I belong (Whoa)

And I'm looking for a place

Where it feels alright to be wrong (Yeah)

Just a loud-mouth, hard-headed

Fool-hearted, stubborn-nose, son-of-a-gun (Whoa)

Chip off the ol' 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 is harder every day that I get older

I hope I figure out why I'm here before it's over

'Cause we're here today (Hey)

And gone tomorrow

We're here today (Hey)

And gone tomorrow

Lead the way (Hey)

Never follow

Here today (Hey)

And gone tomorrow

I've been stuck at home alone

On nights when no one calls (Whoa)

And I've had nights where I could take

My pick or have 'em all (Yeah)

And I've had those days

Where I search my pockets for a nickel and a dime (Whoa)

And I've had those days

Where tryin' to make money was a waste of my time

I've had shiny brand new leather penny loafers

And I've had torn-up, beat-up teddys handed-over

All I know for sure is that nothin' is forever

And all that matters is how we get along together

'Cause we're here today (Hey)

And gone tomorrow

We're here today (Hey)

And gone tomorrow

Through the joy (Hey)

And the sorrow

We're here today (Hey)

And gone tomorrow

We ain't promised tomorrow

So, I'm gon' live for today

Been from five star hotels to cockroach motels

And Rodeo Drive retail to thrift store resales

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

'Cause we're here today (Hey), and gone tomorrow

(Here today, gone tomorrow)

Here today (Hey), and gone tomorrow

(Through the joy and the sorrow)

Lead the way (Hey), never follow

(Lead the way, never follow)

Here today (Hey), and gone tomorrow

(Hear you come and I'm gone, when I'm gone tomorrow)

(Hey)

Here today (Hey)

Here today (Hey)

Here today (Hey)

Here today (Hey)
