Not Today

Usually my fingers tremble
When I drag out of bed
Reaching for the one thing
That always seems to help my aching head

And I'm sure it would be easy
To twist off the top and take a sip
Let it carry me away
Not today
Not today

There's a picture in my wallet
I've carried long enough
It's tattered and worn and faded
But I never found the heart to tear it up

And I've stopped short a thousand times
To finally telling you good bye
Then I'd fold it up and put it back away
Not today
No not today

You got to start somewhere
You gotta make it right this time
If you're gonna leave the memories
And the demons all behind
You gotta keep the devil down
Find the faith to finally say
Not today
Not today

I don't know about tomorrow
Where this old road might lead
I believe the good Lord
Has got a better plan for me

And I know that there'll be times
Oh when I fall down on my face
But with his grace
It's not today no
Not today

You got to start somewhere
You gotta make it right this time
If you're gonna leave the memories
And the demons all behind
You gotta keep the devil down
Find the faith to finally say
Not today
No not today

Oh Lord I pray
Not today
