Better Days

Well my soul checked out missin' as I sat listenin' To the hours and minutes tickin' away. Yeah, just sittin around waitin' for my life to begin While it was all just slippin' away Well I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come For the train to come rollin' 'round the bend I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose A women I can call my friend These are Better Days, baby Yeah, there's Better Days shinin' through These are Better Days, baby Better Days with a girl like you Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss It's like eatin' cavier in the dirt It's a sad funny ending when you find yourself pretending To be a rich man in a poor man's shirt Now my ass was draggin from a passin' gypsy wagon Your heart like a diamond shown Tryin' to lay it in your arms, count the lucky charms Get out of these hard luck bones These are Better Days, baby Yeah, there's Better Days shinin' through These are Better Days, baby Better Days are shining through Now a life of leisure, and a pirate's treasure Don't make much for tragedy. It's a sad man, my friend, whose livin' in his own skin, And can't stand the company. Every fools got a reason to feel sorry for himself And turning his heart to stone Drag this fool half way to heaven, just a mile on to hell And I feel like I'm comin' home! Chorus 1 Chorus 2
