Better Days - Bruce Springsteen

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
