Better Days

Drove my car down Main Street
Where all the kids still go
Wasting gasoline, doing anything
To keep from going home
Got that same old restless feeling
Like I've got to get away
By this time next year
They'll be out of here
And chasin' better days
Better days, yeah

Stopped by my old high school
And thought of my old friends
How we found love but just enough
To lose our innocence
Then I looked inside a window
Of the church where I got saved
And I said a prayer
'Cause what happened there
Has brought me better days

Better days are coming
I believed it way back when
And look how far my heart
Has come since then
Oh, I can't see what's ahead of me
But if it's anything like my past
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Yeah, better days are here at last

I have made some wrong turns
Boarded some wrong trains
They jumped the track, but lookin' back
I'm glad they came my way
'Cause the love that I've been given
Has helped me find my way
And carried me where I can see
I'm bound for better days

Better days are coming
I believed it way back when
And look how far my heart
Has come since then
Oh, I can see what's ahead of me
But if it's anything like my past
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Yeah, better days are here

Better days are coming
I believed it way back when
And look how far my heart
Has come since then
Oh, I can't see what's ahead of me
But if it's anything like my past
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Yeah, better days are here at last

Oh, better days are coming
(Better days)
I believed it way back when
And look how far my heart
Has come since then
Well, I still can't see what's ahead of me
But if it's anything like my past
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Yeah, better days are here

Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Yeah, better days are here at last
Oh, those better days are here...
