[Verse 1]
Life’s just smoke on a cold sunrise
Curlin’ up then it’s gone from your eyes
Spend your years leanin’ into the wind
Or diggin’ through ghosts of where you’ve been
Half your soul’s in a road not yet
The other half in a pile of regrets
But time don’t care what you try to feel
It keeps right on spinnin’ that rusted wheel
[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t hold tomorrow, can’t relive the past
All you really got… is slippin’ fast
[Chorus (Hard Hook)]
Right now, right here—don’t let it slip away
Right now, right here—that’s all you get to claim
Get down on your knees, better learn how to pray
’Cause God’s the only truth that don’t fade away
When the world don’t make sense and you’re losin’ your ground
Right now, right here—that’s all that’s real you’ve found
[Verse 2]
Find you a woman tough as the dirt
Soft in her hands but she won’t spare the hurt
She’ll drag you back when you lose your line
Look you dead in the eye say, “Boy, that ain’t right”
Raise up kids who know your name
Not just the man but the weight and the blame
Give ‘em your time ‘fore it all burns out
That’s what this livin’s about
[Pre-Chorus]
You can run like hell but you’ll never outrun
The judgment day when your race is done
Chorus (Hard Hook)
Right now, right here—don’t let it slip away
Right now, right here—that’s all you get to claim
Get down on your knees, better learn how to pray
’Cause God’s the only truth that don’t fade away
When the world don’t make sense and you’re losin’ your ground
Right now, right here—that’s all that’s real you’ve found
[Bridge (Stripped / Gritty)]
Dust to dust and breath to wind
You don’t get to ride this road again
So love ‘em hard while they’re still around
Before the silence takes the sound
[Final Chorus (Bigger, Raw)]
Right now, right here—don’t let it slip away
Right now, right here—ain’t no other day
Get down on your knees, better learn how to pray
’Cause God’s the only truth that don’t fade away
When the lights go dark and it all breaks down
Right now, right here… that’s the only thing real you’ve found
