Better Days
Bruce Springsteen
By Steini
Well my soul checked out missin' as I sat listenin'
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
For the train to come rollin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
A women I can call my friend
These are Better Days, baby Yeah, there's Better Days shinin' 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' cavier in the dirt
It's a sad funny ending when you find yourself pretending
To be a rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was draggin from a passin' gypsy wagon
Your heart like a diamond shown
Tryin' to lay it in your arms, count the lucky charms
Get out of these hard luck bones
These are Better Days, baby Yeah, there's Better Days shinin' through
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.
It's a sad man, my friend, whose livin' in his own skin,
And can't stand the company.
Every fools got a reason to feel sorry for himself And turning his heart to stone
Drag this fool half way to heaven, just a mile on to hell
And I feel like I'm comin' home!
