Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Bruce Springsteen - Better days ------------------------------------------ Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening To the hours and minutes tickinī away Yeah, just sittinī around waitinī for my life to begin While it was all just slippinī away. Iīm tired of waitinī for tomorrow to come Or that train to come roarinī īround 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 thereīs better days shining through These are better days baby Better days with a girl like you Well I took a piss at fortuneīs sweet kiss Itīs like eatinī caviar and dirt Itīs a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending A rich man in a poor manīs shirt Now my ass was dragginī when from a passinī gypsy wagon Your heart like a diamond shone Tonight Iīm layinī in your arms carvinī lucky charms Out of these heard luck bones These are better days baby These are better days itīs true These are better days Thereīs better days shining through Now a life of leisure and a pirateīs treasure Donīt make much for tragedy But itīs a sad man my friend whoīs livinī in his own skin And canīt stand the company Every foolīs got a reason to feelinī sorry for himself And turn his heart to stone Tonight this foolīs halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell And I feel like Iīm cominī home These are better days baby Thereīs better days shining through These are better days Better days with a girl like you These are better days baby These are better days itīs true These are better days Better days are shining through
