Live In The Now Lyrics

I've got a farm house, It's a big white farmhouse And forty acres in my head You got a kitchen, It's an oak floor kitchen And a big brass feather bed And there in the parlor, An old upright piano And a precocious blue-eyed kid Playing the keys Playing the keys Live in the now A room with a view of Cambridge Live in the now Traffic, noise, and neighborhood kids We're sitting in the kitchen You reach cross the table And put a finger on my wrinkled brow You say, "Live in the now, Live in the now" 'Cause life is what happens When you're busy making plans That's what John Lennon said Then he quit the phuckin' band Tell me which part Is it the castle, or the sand That you miss when the tide comes along? I'm alone on a highway Only silos break the view A field of sunflowers A scarecrow paying dues And I think to myself "Man, that's not what I'd choose " But here I am, and look where I've gone All for the song Till the tide comes along Live in the now An audience is waiting Live in the now Whose day are you creating? I slip into to the hotel I put the phone on a pillow Your voice makes it better somehow You say, "Live in the now" "Live in the now"
