Verse

We've all heard the saying before
But never thought much about it
Until you experience it for yourself
To get the true meaning behind it
We both graduated in '68
We both went our seperate ways
He went into hotel management
And I into the construction field

Chorus

Here today gone tomorrow
As the old saying goes
Live you life like there's no tomorrow
You don't know what's in store for you
No, you don't know what's in store for you

Verse

Then one night I get a call
That he had been bound and gaged
Took a shotgun blast to the face
To end his life and his career
What a sensless crime this was
To take a young man's life away
I don't really understand why
They did it for a few dollars more

Chorus


Verse

Some experience this in different ways
Others they never do
Here today gone tomorrow
What's really in store for you

Chorus
