Still Around

(album: CowJazz - 1982)

Woke up today, rain coming down
Wondering where all my friends are now
They're not around; no they're not in town
Used to be me on my way

Now I'm the one who sits and stays
And lays 'em down, and kicks the blues around
When those old blues come rolling 'round, rainy days
How they call you, come on son, slip away
I've 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, you're still around, its good to see you're still in town"
"'Cause I know how they try and push you 'round
But man they can't keep good music down
No, it goes around, and it comes around"

So when those old blues come rolling 'round, rainy days
And they call you, come on son, slip away
We've been everywhere there is to get up and get down in town
Well I guess we finally found
It's 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 don't care if that sun don't shine
Now I'm living on my own time
Like you say
I like it anyway

So when those old blues come rolling 'round, I don't play
Hell, they call you, come on son, slip away
We've 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
