For Today - Bob Evans
I've lived for a high school grade
And running 'round the track
I've lived for a hundred girls
Who've never called me back
I've lived the stage playing in a rock
And roll band
But that's all gonna end some day
And I'll have nowhere to stand
I've lived for the future
And especially the past
But tomorrow never got here
And the memories don't last
So I'm taking all I thought I knew
And I'm throwing it away
I'm gonna start living for everything
Yeah I'm living for today
I've lived for a party
Popping pills drinking booze
I've lived for every music style country
Rock pop dance and blues
The party leaves you empty
And the songs they always end
And as much fun as the blues is
It makes a pretty shitty friend
I've lived for being myself
And lived for being someone else
And though neither one was perfect
The first was better for my health
So I'm done caring
What people think about the things I say
I'm not living for no stranger's brains
Nah I'm living for today
Oh I don't think that it's too morbid to say
Oh we all might die tomorrow
Come with me
Like I should've learned the day
My dear dad passed away
You're living for everything
When you;re living for today
So forget all thaat other stuff
And start living for today
I must've lived for more things than
There are names to call
But right now
I'm just living for a soft spot to fall
You see I'm tired but I'm happy
'Cause that's what living for today can do
But it sure has been easy
Since I've been living everyday with you
Yeah it sure has been easy
Since I've been living every day with you
