Austin B. Sweeney - Be Here Now Lyrics

I got a steady dull pain that still nags at me
Lie awake at night with old memories
I'm in a padded room in the Chino jail
My father's gonna kill me if he posts my bail
There's a devil on my shoulder and he won't depart
And an angel here to fix mama's broken heart
There may be better days down the road I'm on
But every billboard reminds me of the wrong I've done
Cause fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And the truth of that knocked me upside the head
When the world is quiet I wanna scream out loud
Lord, why can't I just be here now
Lord, why can't I just be here now
I got a lot of trepidation for the trail ahead
Will I strike it rich or just wind up dead
I've been rolling for doubles, getting twos and threes
Lost my ass at the tables but still won't leave
Could a love come along to calm this storm
On the dark, cold nights will she keep me warm
If I ain't troubled 'bout the future, I'm stuck in the past
Flying through the present just waiting to crash
The story's better if you don't skip ahead
And there's a couple pages that you'll wish you hadn't read
When the world is quiet I wanna scream out loud
Lord, why can't I just be here now
Lord, why can't I just be here now
'Cause fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And the truth of that knocked me upside the head
When the world is quiet I wanna scream out loud
Lord, why can't I just be here now
Lord, why can't I just be here now
Lord, why can't I just be here now
Lord, why can't I just be here now
Lord, why can't I just be here now
