Playing guitar is a hobby for me. I've just gotten back into playing guitar after being away from it for 40 yrs. I love music and this is my way of relaxing when I can't be enjoying the outside.

Lyrics
Verse We've all heard the saying before But never thought much about it Until you experience it for yourself To get the true meaning behind it We both graduated in '68 We both went our seperate ways He went into hotel management And I into the construction field Chorus Here today gone tomorrow As the old saying goes Live you life like there's no tomorrow You don't know what's in store for you No, you don't know what's in store for you Verse Then one night I get a call That he had been bound and gaged Took a shotgun blast to the face To end his life and his career What a sensless crime this was To take a young man's life away I don't really understand why They did it for a few dollars more Chorus Verse Some experience this in different ways Others they never do Here today gone tomorrow What's really in store for you Chorus

Hi Bill, My kind of rock. Nice beat, good melody. A kind of morbid subject but reminds us things aren't all hearts & flowers. Keep up the good work.

Hello Bill, I can relate to this one....I had a friend that I lost to suicide....he couldn't handle the death of his father.... Perhaps they are together now..... Nice work on this one, it must have been difficult to do... Have a Wonderful Weekend, :) Kurt
