Better Than Today

Yesterday was better than today

Yesterday was when I went away

Tomorrow I will have a brand new car

If I get a letter

Tomorrow will be better than today

Your weighted hair is hanging down your back

And all the dreams you've had are coming back

When you have your pockets filled with gold

You don't have to wake up

Or even use your make-up when you're old

Yesterday was better than today

Steadily my hair was turning grey

I'm fifty, he is fifty-one

When we reach New Mexico

The party, it will start to go again
