Luke Beling - Every Now and Not Yet


November 29, 2024

Luke Beling is one of our all-time favorite artists. Everything he sings has a soul. Each song tells a different story, and if you dig a little deeper into the world of this extraordinary guy, you quickly understand why there are so many stories in his discography. Luke also writes books, and you can even order his new book The Field of Plenty, released on October 22, 2024 (yes, just six days after this song—he never stops!) on his website lukebeling.com.

But let's get back to the music. For us, Luke Beling—just as we suggest on the cover of your new favorite magazine (yes, please, humor us)—is like the uncle in the family who always has stories and legends to tell. And we love these kinds of characters. We've also highlighted his unique voice, a tone that makes him instantly recognizable. It's crucial for an artist to have a signature vocal style that stands out, and Luke Beling is fortunate to be among those who do.

The song has been added to "Niko's Music Mixtape", our monthly virtual CD on Spotify.

Lyrics

She said boy this ain’t a place for the drifter

This ain’t a place for the drifter

Why’d you come knocking on my front door

I said girl I got some feet full of blisters

I got some feet full of blisters

Looks like you’re my something

Something cold to pour

She said don’t come to me here with no sweet talk

Don’t come to me here with no sweet talk

I got a handsome man gonna get me some kids 

Well can he trample the snake like a wild horse

Trample the snake like a wild horse

Girl have you seen him dance

Does he mean what he says

‘Cause I see a look in your sad brown eyes 

If you say it’s a lie 

Then I’ll say goodbye

But the open road’s such a lonely place without a hand to hold

Every careless mistake

Every fall from grace

Every blade in the soul

If you give me a chance we can make it out from these days of regret

Every sky full of clouds

Every choice that we doubt

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet

Then the sun turned the blue sky burning

The sun turned the blue sky burning 

I felt the warmth of her skin as she showed me in

Boy you know he’ll soon be returning

You know he’ll soon be returning 

And oh he’s a jealous man 

Steel pan for a chin

But girl there’s that look in your sad brown eyes

 If you say it’s a lie

Then I’ll say goodbye

Oh the open road’s such a lonely place without a hand to hold

Every careless mistake

Every fall from grace

Every blade in the soul

If you give me a chance we can make it out from these days of regret

Every sky full of clouds

Every choice that we doubt

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet

Oh the highway’s waiting

The daylight fading

The way we’ll take is a one-time trade-in

Of a curtain call

Life stillborn

Of asking for more 

My girl we’ve got it all

Yeah the highway’s waiting

The daylight fading

The way we’ll take is a one-time trade-in

Of a curtain call

Life stillborn

Of asking for more 

My girl we’ve got it all

If you give me a chance we can make it out from these days of regret

Every sky full of clouds

Every choice that we doubt

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet

Every now and not yet
