I'm a long lost wandering soul trying to find where I belong And I'm looking for 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 nothing is forever And all that matters is how we get along together Life gets 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 And gone tomorrow We're here today And gone tomorrow
Lead the way Never follow We're here today And gone tomorrow
I've been stuck at home alone On nights when no one calls And I've had nights Where I could take my pick or have them all And I've had those days Where I search my pockets for nickel and a dime And I've had those days where Trying to make money was a waste of time
I've had shiny brand new leather penny loafers And I've had torn up used old tennies handed over All I know for sure is that nothing is forever And all that matters is how get along together
'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
We ain't promised tomorrow So I'm gonna live for today
Been from five-star hotels to cockroach motels And rodeo 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
'Cause we're here today And gone tomorrow We're here today And gone tomorrow
Lead the way Never follow We're here today And gone tomorrow
We're here today We're here today We're here today We're here today
