Woke up today, rain comin down,
Wonderin where all my friends are now.
Theyre not around; no theyre not in town
Used to be me on my way,
Now Im the one who sits and stays,
And lays em down, and kicks the blues around.
When those old blues come rollin round, rainy days,
How they call you, come on son, slip away.
Ive been everywhere there is to get up and get down in town,
And I guess I finally found,
I like it right here and now.
Saw my old friend, Jimmy Day,
He laughed when he saw all the gray.
He said, "Hey, youre still around, its good to see youre still in town."
"Cause I know how they try and push you round,
But man they cant keep good music down,
No, it goes around, and it comes around."
So when those old blues come rollin round, rainy days,
And they call you, come on son, slip away,
Weve been everywhere there is to get up and get down in town,
Well I guess we finally found,
Its good to be here and now.
Yeah, right here and now.
And I guess I finally found, I like it here and now
Cause I dont care if that sun dont shine
Now Im living on my own time,
Like you say
I like it anyway
So when those old blues come rollin round, I dont play.
Hell, they call you, come on son, slip away,
Weve been everywhere there is to get up and get down in town
And I guess I finally found, I like it right here and now.
