Lyric Better Days - Bruce Springsteen

Lyric Song Better Days: 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
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 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
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
There s 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 to feelin sorry for himself
And turn 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
Better days with a girl like you
These are better days baby
These are better days it s true
These are better days
Better days are shining through
