Better Days — Bruce Springsteen

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 Im 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 And a woman I can call my friend

These are better days baby Yeah theres better days shining through These are better days baby Better days with a girl like you

Well I took a piss at fortunes sweet kiss Its like eatin caviar and dirt Its sad funny ending to find yourself pretending A rich man in a poor mans shirt Now my ass was draggin when from a passin gypsy wagon Your heart like a diamond shone Tonight Im layin in your arms carvin lucky charms Out of these hard luck bones

These are better days baby These are better days its true These are better days Theres better days shining through

Now a life of leisure and a pirates treasure Dont make much for tragedy But its a sad man my friend whos livin in his own skin And cant stand the company Every fools got a reason for feelin sorry for himself And turning his heart to stone Tonight this fools halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell And I feel like Im comin home

These are better days baby Theres better days shining through These are better days Better days with a girl like you

These are better days baby These are better days its true These are better days Better days are shining through
