Better Days Lyrics

Well, my soul checked out missing as I sat listening To the hours and minutes tickin' away Yeah, 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 and a pretty red rose And 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 And it's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon Your heart like a diamond shone Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms Out of these heard 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/better-days-lyrics-bruce-springsteen.html ] 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 And turn in 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, babe Better days are shining through These are better days, baby Oh better days, it's true These are better days, baby Better days are shining through
These are better days, baby These are better days, baby Better days are shining through These are better days These are better days Better days are shining through These are better days
