Better Days (Single Edit)

Well, my soul checked out missing as I sat listening To the hours and minutes tickin' away Yeah, just sittin' 'round waitin' for my life to begin While it was all just slippin' away Well, I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come For that train to come roarin' 'round the bend I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose 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 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 Get out of these hard-luck bones These are better days, baby These are better days, it's true These are better days, baby Better days 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 livin' in his own skin And can't stand the company Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself And turning 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, baby 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 Oh, better days, it's true These are better days, baby Better days with a girl like you (better days are shining through) These are better days, baby
