Lyrics

Well, my soul checked out missing
As I sat listening
To the hours and minutes ticking away
Yeah, just sitting around waiting
For my life to begin
It was all just slipping away
And I'm tired of waiting
For tomorrow to come
Or that train come rolling 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes
A pretty red rose
And a woman I can call my friend
These are better days, baby
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 eating caviar and dirt
It's a sad funny ending
To find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was dragging
When from a passing country wagon
Your heart, like a diamond, shone
Tonight I'm laying in your arms
I'm carving lucky charms
Out of these hard luck bones
'Cause these are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
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
But it's a sad man, my friend
Who's living in his own skin
And can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason
For feeling sorry for himself
And turn his heart right into stone
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven
And just a mile out of hell
And I feel like I'm coming 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
