But Today

BUT TODAY

The weather in this town
Can make you wanna hit the road
One day it's blazin' hot
The next day dawns and, man, it snowed
Again

But today
But today
I don't care about the heat and the humidity
I don't care about the rain and its acidity
I don't care about the weatherman's stupidity
Not today
No, today
Is beautiful

Still all those other days
Can drive a man to drink and cry
As every month gets worse
A soul can't help but think, "Goodbye...
For good."

But today
But today
I don't care if there's monsoons predicted late next week
I don't care if hot and cold fronts congregate next week
I don't care if plagues of locusts lie in wait next week
Not today
No, today
Is beautiful
Glorious
Clear blue sky

Yes, what other reason need I give
To prove this is the place to live
And play

But today...
Today...
Today...
I don't care if I keep shiv'rin ev'ry night away
I don't care if there's tornadoes comin right away
I don't car if Honolulu's just a flight away...
For today
Yes, today
Is beautiful
Glorious
Clear blue sky
Seventy five degrees
Gentle breeze from the sea

Sure, tomorrow it may seem all wet
And I may say I gotta get
Away
But today---
Today is why I stay!
