Better Days
Well, my soul checked out missing, as I sat listening
To the hours and minutes ticking away
Yeah, just sittin' 'round waitin' for my life to begin
While it was all just slipping away
Well, I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
Or the train to come roarin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
A woman I can call my friend
These are better days, baby
Yeah, there's better days shining 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' caviar and dirt
It's a sad funny ending, when you find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was draggin' from a passing gypsy wagon
Your heart like a diamond shone
Tonight I'm laying in your arms, carving lucky charms
Yeah, out of these hard luck bones
These are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
There's better days shining through
Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy
But it's a sad man, my friend, who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
And turning his heart to stone
Tonight, this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
And I feel like I'm comin' home
These are better days, baby
There's better days shining through
These are better days, baby
Better days with a girl like you
These are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
These are better days, baby
Ah, better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
These are better days, baby
Ah, better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
These are better days, ooh-ooh
These are better days
Better days are shining through
These are better days, ooh-ooh
These are better days
To the hours and minutes ticking away
Yeah, just sittin' 'round waitin' for my life to begin
While it was all just slipping away
Well, I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
Or the train to come roarin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
A woman I can call my friend
These are better days, baby
Yeah, there's better days shining 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' caviar and dirt
It's a sad funny ending, when you find yourself pretending

These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby

Better days are shining through
These are better days, baby
Ah, better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
These are better days, baby
Ah, better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
These are better days, ooh-ooh
These are better days
Better days are shining through
These are better days, ooh-ooh
These are better days
