Now And Then Songtext / Lyric

I'm gonna dig my own coal mine

I'm gonna face the music

Choose between the forces

That I want to live



An idle mind's the devil's playground

I walk a much straighter line

Or trick myself into believing it

Up the road of rock and hill

Strechin' out yonder

I might as well resign myself

To start now



A broken wheel I'm no good

Well how strange it is

With nine fingers to the count






Every now and then I wake up

Stronger than before

Closer towards a door that's opening

Through the never ending breakup

Knowing there is more

More than yesterday was offering



(Gonna) get my share of what's fair

Climb the ladder up the stairs

Plead innocent or finally do the crime



Gonna be first, at least not last

Put my nose to the grind

Excuse me now,

if you think I move too fast



Can't complain, time to take aim

Stake my claim or pull out,

If I've got to pay up

I'll bring some cash now



The best intentions of good faith

or good will

The etiquette, the whole crap

You know I can live without



Every now and then I wake up

Stronger than before

Closer towards a door that's opening

Through the never ending breakup

Knowing there is more

More than yesterday was offering



I think that I've seen the end of those days

Head bowed down

With the cross on my back

I've entered into a whole other phase

That's got a brand new plan of attack



Every now and then I wake up

Stronger than before

Closer towards a door that's opening

Through the never ending breakup

Knowing there is more

More than yester -



Every now and then I wake up

Stronger than before

Closer towards a door that's opening

Through the never ending breakup

Knowing there is more

More than yesterday

Was offering
