[Verse 1]
Well, my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
Yeah, just sittin' 'round waitin' for my life to begin
While it was all just slippin' away
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
For that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
A woman I can call my friend
[Chorus]
These are better days, baby
Yeah, there's better days shining through
These are better days, baby
Better days with a girl like you
[Verse 3]
Well, I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
It's sad, funny ending to find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
[Verse 4]
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 hard-luck bones
[Chorus]
These are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
There's better days shining through
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
And turning 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
[Chorus]
These are better days, baby
There's better days shining through
These are better days, baby
Better days with a girl like you
[Chorus]
These are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
[Chorus]
These are better days, baby
These are better days, it's true
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
[Outro]
These are better days, baby
These are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
These are better days
These are better days
Better days are shining through
