Well, my soul checked out missin'
|
As I sat listenin' to the hours and minutes tickin' away
|
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
|
Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
|
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
|
A woman I can call my friend
|
These are better days, babe
|
Better days it’s true
|
These are better days, babe
|
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 endin' when you find yourself pretendin'
|
A rich man in a poor man’s shirt
|
Now my ass was draggin' from a passin' gypsy wagon
|
Your heart like a diamond shone
|
Tonight I’m layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
|
Out of these hard luck bones
|
These are better days, babe
|
Better days it’s true
|
These are better days, babe
|
Better days are shinin' 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 to feelin' sorry for himself
|
Turn his heart to stone
|
Tonight this fool’s halfway to Heaven, just a mile outta Hell
|
But I feel like I’m comin' home
|
These are better days, babe
|
Better days it’s true
|
These are better days, babe
|
Better days with a girl like you
|
These are better days babe
|
Better days it’s true
|
These are better days, baby
|
Better days are shinin' through
|
These are better days
|
Better days it’s true
|
These are better days, baby
|
Better days are shinin' through
|
These are better days
|
These are better days
|
Better days are shinin' through
|
These are better days
|
Better days are shinin' through |
