The Here & the Now

Lyrics

The strangest story ever told
 Was how I got to be this old
 At the close of WWII,
 My folks did the did that the young folks do
 In '46 out I came, this world would never be the same!
 Chorus:
 I don't know why, I'm not sure how
 I wined up here to the here and the now
 He don't know why, he's not sure how
 He made it here to the here and the now!
 In the 1950s I was just a kid
 Did all the kids stuff you people did
 I rode a bike, I threw a ball,...
 The 60s came I ... scary and the parents the...
 Chorus:
 I don't know why, I'm not sure how
 I wined up here to the here and the now
 He don't know why, he's not sure how
 He made it here to the here and the now!
 In the 70s I made it big... you did
 I took a wife, we had some kids
 Screwed that up and went on...
 In the 80s I started a brand new life
 Had another kid, I took another wife
 Chorus:
 I don't know why, I'm not sure how
 I wined up here to the here and the now
 He don't know why, he's not sure how
 He made it here to the here and the now!
 In the 1990's there I went again
 Made me a few more female friends
 Then. in love...
 Had another wife, another blessing event.
 In the 21st century I'm down that old
 My seats staring, my lungs are cold
 It all makes sense the why and the how
 Soon I'll be out of here, the here and the now
 It all makes sense the why and the how
 Soon I'll be out of here, the here and the now
