Riding on Today - Original Song by Greg Golden

This is a song that I wrote about my friend Narciso Lobo (seeso)and his ex-girlfriend just not understanding what it is to live the creative-life . (He's the guy playing ukulele). Subscribe to his channel if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed!

I think the lyrics are mostly self-explanatory. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics:

Riding on Today
Music and Lyrics Copyright 1995 Greg Golden

Some days slip through the seams to come and go like a wayward child
I never thought I'd feel old but somehow I ain't feeling too young right now
Some take me for a fool 'cause I take it one day at a time
But I never thought you'd make the same mistake
I guess I was mistaken

You say I slip through the seams, that I don't know any other way
I never wanted you to see me as a let down, but I guess I'm down here to stay
Please remember I would never make a pact or a promise I did not intend to keep
But now I keep seeing dead ends
Guess it feels like the bitter end

You said, "Take a look in the mirror, is that how you wanna live?"
But what else can I do or say?

I'm a-riding on today
I'm a-riding on today

Yesterday I woke from a dream, our story had a happily ever end
Now I wish I could go back to sleep, or at least feel that way again
Maybe I won't survive, who's to say? Maybe I'll prove you right
Maybe then I could go back home again
Guess I'll never admit the end

You said, "Take a look in the mirror, is that how you wanna live?"
But what else can I do or say?

I'm a-riding on today
Riding on today
I'm a-riding on today
Riding on today

Today is just today...

Pardon me but there seems to be
Something strange in the air but it shouldn't make a difference
Every day when I come to play
Your little voice in my head saying, "Couldn't you try more?"
It's clear to see that I'll never be
A nine to five suit and tie 'cause I thrive on the difference
Someday you will come around
Get your head from the clouds and come a-knocking on my door

Today is just today...

It's a treat to see you two together.

Great song.

Your instruments complement each other.

So does your playing and singing.

[gregthegoldenegg]

Hey thanks once again. I see you found our other vid as well. I guess you probably found me through Seeso since he is such a ukulele rock star!

[cyberwanderer]

Yeah, wow, I was along for ride on this cool tune. Folk heroes, man... They come into being one kick to the gut at a time. (No worries about gut-kicks from me though. I'm the guy you wake up in the ditch next to.) All I got is stars - in this case, five. As for getting out of the ditch... there's gotta be a way.

[gregthegoldenegg]

Hey if it wasn't for this ditch, i wouldn't know how to write or sing so at least there's a bright side. (and good company)

[seeso]

Gregorio de Oro.
