"Only Three Days" [Verse 1] Yesterday's gone, but the porch light stayed on somehow, Mama's voice still calls me in from the yard right now, Every road we walked back then led somewhere real, Now it's just the ghost of a screen door I still feel. [Chorus] 'Cause life's just three days, that's all we ever get, Yesterday's a memory I won't forget, Today's the only ground I've got to stand, Tomorrow ain't a promise, it's just a plan. [Verse 2] Today the river's runnin' same as it always did, I'm out here on the porch just like I was a kid, Guitar in my hands, tryin' to get it right, Puttin' down a memory before it turns to night. [Chorus 2] 'Cause life's just three days, that's all we ever get, Yesterday's a memory I won't forget, Today's the only ground I've got to stand, Tomorrow ain't a promise, it's just a plan. [Bridge] Tomorrow ain't mine to hold, It's a story that ain't been told, So I'm livin' in the here and now, 'Fore this river runs on without me somehow. [Final Chorus - Bring it home] 'Cause life's just three days, and I know that well, Yesterday's gone but I got a story to tell, Today's the day I'm gonna make it count, Tomorrow will come — but today's what I'm about. [End]
