The Here and Now

Don’t go talkin bout tomorrow
When I need you here tonight
Don’t go livin like forever
You’re gonna still be here by my side

Don’t go thinkin bout the future
And say you’ll never let me down
Why not move a little closer
I’m needin you in the here and now

When I was young I did 8 to 5
Workin hard to stay alive
And every day man the time did fly
As I earned that livin wage

And now sometimes its eight to eight
And you and me and the kids must wait
Savin up for some future date
It’s a heavy price we pay

You know we’re all runnin out of time
Just so long that we’re in our prime
It’s not clear where to draw the line
In this confusing day and age

Where’d we get this notion from
A good life is lived on the run
we should be together and havin fun
and that’s why you hear me say

so pick your drink up lets have a toast
to the one’s who give the most
cause it’s for sure you’ll never hear them boast
of the progress that they’ve made

It doesn’t matter what you say
it’s only what you’ve done today
give love and friendship along the way
and let the future come what may
