Here Today Gone Tomorrow

Dust on the boots and the engine's warm

Watching the ridge line wait for a storm

I count the miles that are left behind

Looking for peace that's getting hard to find

Time is a river

that won't turn around

Feet in the dirt on this unsettled ground (ooh-ooh)

Here today,

standing in the morning sun

Counting the blessing

before the day

is done

Here today, might never see tomorrow come

So hold on tight

to the simple things we won

Old wooden porch

with the paint peeling thin

Listening close to the evening wind

I gave away grudges

I carried for years

Leaving the porch

light on through the tears

No promise of dawn

when the twilight goes gray

Just this breath

and the words that I say

Here today,

standing in the morning sun

Counting the blessing

before the day

is done

Here today, might never see tomorrow come

So hold on tight

to the simple things we won (yeah,

hold on tight)

Here today...

Just take it in while you can
