Have to Do for Now

Front porch steps with Ida Mae

Kill mosquitoes all the live long day

Hurricane making landfall today

That'll have to do for now

Nothing to do but while away

Right here at home is where I wanna stay

Tomorrow comes the story change

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

I'm still alive, still alive

I wanna work more than to survive

I've got the time, knowhow, and pride

That'll have to do for now

Mid-September still too hot

Tomatoes grow in an old tin pot

While across the street an empty lot

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

December come you best be ready

Have a plan and hands that steady

Gonna take a trip out to LA

That'll have to do for now

Gotta have a song to sing

See what that old storm might bring

Go and get your girl a diamond ring

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

We were young, we took an oath

Cut our palms and spit on the both

Shook on it in the undergrowth

That'll have to do for now

Feel out of tree and cracked your head

Blood came on down pouring red

Run tell mama Chris is dead

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

We're older now time had its way

Was there still something you wanted to say

I hear every dog will have its day

That'll have to do for now

Nothing that's too precious can every stay

The winds will come and carry it away

The crows make a nest of sticks and hay

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now

That'll have to do for now
