Todd Snider - If Tomorrow Never Comes Lyrics
If tomorrow never comes
I won't give a damn
If tomorrow never comes
I will not be afraid to meet my maker
Just the way that I am
But one thing is true
If you can steal from me
I can steal from you
Any kind of heaven every body doesn't get in
Won't seem like a heaven to me
They tell you that the garden of Eden was perfect
But you couldn't even eat off the apple tree
And for heavens sakes look out for that snake
Lying to your woman constantly
Looked up and said
Lord this just isn't doing it for me
If tomorrow never comes
I won't give a damn
If tomorrow never comes
I don't want to be afraid
To come and meet you just the way that I am
I can't do anything I'm dying too
If tomorrow never comes
Tonight will have to do
I say I don't ever claim to know whats going on around here
I don't even know where I'm from
I know where I'm going when I get to where I'm going
What I'm doing when I get done
You tell me I'm forgiven if I need to be
I say permission ought to come that easily
I'm piling cores up underneath this apple tree
Singing oh lord have mercy on me
If tomorrow never comes
And tonight is all I got
If tomorrow never comes
I don't want to be afraid
To come and meet you just the way that im not
Can't do anything
And then you die
Judge the judgemental and what am I?
Aah...
Either way I'm every guy I ever tried not to be
I want everything as good as it gets
Ive learned nothing but that there is another sun rise coming
All but one of the times it sets
And if tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
If we were all good people
We could work in perfect rhythm
If worms had daggers
Birds wouldn't fuck with them

Todd Snider If Tomorrow Never Comes Comments
In some performances by Todd Snider I have seen on Youtube, I get the impression, he performs his music, tells his stories because it absorbs him otherwise- he just wants to share it. But do you think he gets what a rare, incredibly talented guy he is? Does he know how nice it is not to see a cookie cutter copy of whatever is popular at any particular moment? He is a real person who sings about real things. Love him like I love John Prine and I LOVE John Prine.
Oh Wow! At least he has 11 songs instead of the 9 he had when he wrote "Money, Compliments, and Publicity." <3
He's mitch hedburg meets bluegrass!
Love Todd!! Real!!
This is the best version of “If Tomorrow Never Comes.”
“If worms had daggers birds wouldn’t fuck with ‘em” 🐛🔪🦜 That line killed me.
I should be ashamed of myself
No no no
Oh my oh hell yes 😍
OMG THIS GUY IS SO BAD ASS!!! LOVE IT !!!
I just love this guy....I truly e
He's just awesome
Is he speaking of Kent Blazey?
I was looking for a recipe for potato salad.... 4 hours later I’m here..... and that’s ok..... but idk where “here” is....
He stinks.
Cool,like the way you Think n sing.
Hell yeah. Lol.
5:19 of self-indulgent rambling, less than 2 minutes of "song". Taken out of context, wtf. Taken in context, meh.
too much intro
This guy's hilarious!
MIRACLES,
ARE GOD'S WAY OF.......... SHOWING US THAT IF WE
BELIEVE, ALL THING'S ARE
POSSIBLE,
The dude abides!
if worms had daggers. earth wouldnt fuck with them.
I felt that
Wasn't the banjo player on Hee Haw, the tall blonde guy that told funny stories, wasn't his name Tom Snider? A lot of resemblance. Someone help me out.
That was Mike Snyder.
@Chad South Yeah. Thanks for that. I wonder if they are related? They are both funny guys.
@Jo Smotherman Mike Snyder is from Gleason Tennessee so I doubt they are related.
He rambles more than my Mother in law....and he cannot sing...Period!!!!
Too much talking.....
Melvins lead singer or speaker my Ackley breaky heart
She knows
This reminds me of mitch hedberg... this crows lucky, good jokes and good music...
Perfect folk rock with pop tendencies. Spirit of it's own. Totally legit albeit.
Back in the 90s he lived in Memphis for a while used to go see him in local bars.
Will she know how much I love her?
Will she know how much I love her?

GARBAGE …………………………………………...
This cat is brilliant
I am stealing this song in its entirety
good show mate that was fuckin great
😂😂😉😉😉😉😂😂😂😂
Brlliant
Being a LIBERAL ruined this guy !!
Don't waste your time clicking on this shit. He doesn't sing anything
Sweeten your day with a story. 🤠 by TC Stuhr. https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/TCStuhr
Hilarious!
too much styling....just bring it.
This guy used to appear on the Bob and Tom Show and is on some of their al ums
Dude, I think we were separated at birth, A brother from another mother!!!
He reminds me of Joe Walsh.
One of the best of his generation. Todd Snyder is absolutely terrific. Shame is he isn't more well known
He doesn't need to be more well know. He's already got that baseball package.
Thats awesome...lol..!!!
This dude is too cool about this situation. Freakin awesome!
I have been a fan of Todd Snider for may years
I'm reminded of Loudon Wainwright III. And I'm not sure how I never heard of this guy before. He's amazing.
Freakin' hilarious!
His book is brilliant.
Great song, great story, great artist
The verse that starts with "and good lord if you're up there, you've sure got some nerve" sums up entire volumes of philosophy in a dozen lines *and* it's got a punch line. How long did it take him to write that I wonder?
Fkn great!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7y5-80-rwk
All my favs in one. Should call his next CD Rambin Todd Snider
i just love hiim. saw him at farm aid 2014 in raleigh. first up. he is great... storyteller, i have his same damn adhd and think i'll be turning into a female him soon around here. i tend to rhyme. and tell the truth. and it sucks. for them.
Not for nothing .....this guy is talented and just makes me laugh :)
😂😂😂
Coleen, great minds think alike, I was just going to post that he sounds like Mitch
He writes songs that cause me to shift my paradigm sometimes.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If Frank Gallagher was a folk singer hahaha
Haha yeah your right
Awesome!!!
that's good stuff
thats hilarious... somebody told me I looked like Garth Brooks again, first time in over 5 years... I shouldn't have gained all that weight, now every southern girl is gonna be after me...
i feel like damned fool.. i actually thought he was gonna sing something.
That is so sad - this could be the topic for it's own song.
Todd "blabbermouth" Snider..
Rjm Utber bet you're fun st parties
Let's argue about something as pure and random as Folk Music, he was better than him,they are better than now, was was better now and kale is the new cabbage. Cave men caught a G smoothing out their deerskins. Fuck pretention.
singing starts at 5:13 ;)
Friedrich Salzmann
Thanks, although I'll listen to his spoken or written word too.
The story is better than the song!
new fan! Oh but i am all in! Love it!
Nancy Ingram wow i just found this he's great and im all im too.
He sounds like, when talking, a combination of Arlo Guthrie and Mitch Hedberg.
William Hinson the
I was thinking Mitch Hedberg. Witty punchline delivery.
Go to sleep little baby
First thing I thought was Mitch Hedberg
Mitch Hedberg definitely. Especially cause he looked at the ground a bit in the beginning.
Can we talk about how Tom Waits commented on this...
I'm down.
What did Tom say?
We can definitely take time for that. Think it's really him? Or me? I think it's really you. Yep, I'm wierd.
Tom Waits commented on this? How far back?
plus our friend Todd Snider here has made the fatal flaw as a musician of picking a political side thereby denying half his audience the ability to enjoy his music
@Doombird I guess you missed the 60's then. Some of those guys were pretty successful and very political as well.
@Marten Dekker my reply was intense sarcasm directed at the original commenter
@mark tuchscherer I did miss the 60's, but my reply was sarcastic and making fun of the original commenter
@Greg Gower Indeed! If his music didn't offend, or at least give pause to, a certain part of society then he wouldn't be doing social commentary. Todd doesn't really do pop music.
I've been voting Republican for the last 20 years. I'm still a fan.
Todd only has one good song and yes he's a dead copy of those you've listed, however there is a growing movement of folk music now in the teen years of the 2000s which is I would argue better than that of the 60s. Conor Oberst, AA Bondy, Ray LaMontagne.... each of those guys are light years above Todd Snider. and Conor is absolutely better than Dylan
you are young ...dont worry , it will pass
Conor Oberst...Bob Dylan? Do you write the comedy lines for Todd?
John Russell This clown has an awful screen name which is neither clever nor cool. He has less class than R Kelly & is as funny as a flat tire.
Better look up joe pug buddy
Can't wait to hear your ONE good song, Mr Ebert.
Read his book.
@Tom waits
If interested in some reads.
https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/TCStuhr
...in the process of that right now.
@Mr. T looked it up........wow.......it's people as yourself sharing great hidden information to those like me who are hungry for this kind of ligature. Many thanks.
@Josh Morningstar AWSOME....thank you
@fivectydirttracker 22 thank you kindly, I recently e published a few free stories, and two new books, a full novel, and a novelette. Please check it out. https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/TCStuhr
If you want to know why Dylan went electric and ditched folk it was because by 1966 every coffee house was full of imitation Dylans, imitation Phil Ochs, imitation Dave Van Ronks exactly like this. The hair, the hat, the giggle. "Maan." This was as dead as boy bands now. What a breath of fresh air Sgt Pepper was after years of these guys. If you actually like this, go back and try the originals.
You're unbearable.
@San Francisco Professor Folk is not dead. It is bigger than Dylan.
I started to write a reply, instead I rate your comment 2 ‘oh good griefs.’
delivery just like mitch hedberg
the smartest man ever.have to have pint with him when he comes to Ireland.
The first time I heard Todd's "Beer Run", I thought, here's a lawsuit coming from the Brooks people lol. Glad he cleared it up.
mscentrum04 mildly amusing. Little guitar talent.....He needs to keep working,
a good heart,I think...
Seeing Todd Snider live is entertaining because of the stories that accompany the songs.
"This guy's a genius"!!!!
Well, not technically...
mitch hedburg of music... Great singer
Fuck commercials!
Good News Indeed!
5:00.>>>> love the song you made up right by yourself LMAO!!
3:40 >>> Bwahhahhaa!!!
Most of Todd Snider's listeners actually enjoy listening to his stories.
Todd Snider is an amazing artist. Probably my favorite performer.
genius!
Have mercy on me...
Todd Snider is a genius but he will tell an 18 minute fib then when you see him again he'll tell a whole 'nother 18 minute fib
Satyrical01 He fully discloses this at his show. Lol
if worms had daggers... haha...
Hell of a story teller, songwriter, guitar picker,singer, would have loved to be at this concert ,thanks for posting and Thanks Todd, for the music
Todd is a genius.
