I´m a long 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

´Cause we´re here today and gone tomorrow
We´re here today and gone tomorrow
Lead the way, never follow
Here today, gone tomorrow

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

´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 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

´Cause we´re here today and gone tomorrow
We´re here today and gone tomorrow
Lead the way, never follow
Here today, gone tomorrow
Here today (hey)
Here today (hey)
Here today (hey)
Here today (hey)
