Now
Song dedicated to me and my friend Tony.
Now that the world is a bigger place for you and me
I've got a hook to hang my proverbial hat on
Now that the sun of happy days rises in the easter sky pigs will fly
The dream lives on inside of me
I remember my loveless attitude
I wanted to turn my back on myself
It never took a truck to make me jump
I thank God that truck came and knocked my book of dreams off the shelf
How foolish I was how foolish I'd been
It's a real high horse when you're tossed aside
How foolish I look now with my foolish grin
My horse is waiting time to rise into the sun ride
Now that the world is twisting fate irrevocably for me and you
We're awake to the smell of the river overfloweth our cups of coffee
Now we're two big fish among big fish all swimin' into the real live pond
The dream lives on inside of me
Seems like only last moon day
I wanted to pack my guitar for a rod
You always had this way of making me talk
I thank God you never wanted to shut me up
How happy I am how happy I'll be
I'm brushin' destiny on my own time
So happy I just can't sit still in my seat
We've got a plane to catch, Tony!
Now start counting the long hot days 'til we're in our primetime limelight
Two practical alumnus of life we're hard-knocksin's the doors down
Now the world is our big back yard and the neighbors come to rake our leaves
The dream lives on inside of me
Now a days we're both worth all three birds and the hand and the bush put together
Now we're waggin' the whole damn dog and the tail and all the fleas it's got
Now that we own both sides of the grass it's always green and mowed
Now, hey, by they way, you're my friend!
And now the dream lives on
And now the dream lives on
And now the dream lives on
Inside of me
And on and on and on
Now!
