I've seen the skyline in new york city

Fireflies in tennessee

Sipped a little 'shine from a paper sack

That'll knock the horns off a cadillac

I must've sat on a dozen islands

I've watched the sun sink into the sea

Been there done that got the t-shirt and hat

But my favorite place to be is

Here and now.

Nowhere else in this world tonight

You and me, ain't it good to be alive

Ain't no better place, ain't no better time

Than here and now

Everybody's waitin', but they're waitin' on what

Better get to livin' 'cause all we got is

Here and now.

Think I fell in love for the first time

With the gulf of mexico

Thought I found a true love in malibu, but

That water was a little too cold

Yeah I left a few tears in the rearview

One or two that were hard to forget

Why you think we call the present the present

'cause there ain't no better gift than

Here and now.

Nowhere else in this world tonight

You and me, ain't it good to be alive

Ain't no better place, ain't no better time

Than here and now

Everybody's waitin', but they're waitin' on what

Better get to livin' 'cause all we got is

Here and now.

A lot of people dreamin' 'bout a one day

Somedays waitin' just around the bend

I used to be one, wonderin' when they'd come

But now I'm living in (but now I'm living in)

(Here and now)

Yeah I'm living in the.

Here and now

Nowhere else in this world tonight

You and me, ain't it good to be alive

Ain't no better place, ain't no better time

Than here and now

Everybody's waitin', but they're waitin' on what

Better get to livin' 'cause all we got is

Here and now.
