Loudon Wainwright III - The Here & The Now lyrics

rate me

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
