Bruce Springsteen - Better Days Lyrics
Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listeningTo the hours and minutes tickin awayYeah, just sittin around waitin for my life to beginWhile it was all just slippin away.Im tired of waitin for tomorrow to comeOr that train to come roarin round the bend.I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red roseAnd a woman I can call my friendThese are better days babyYeah theres better days shining throughThese are better days babyBetter days with a girl like youWell I took a piss at fortunes sweet kissIts like eatin caviar and dirtIts a sad funny ending to find yourself pretendingA rich man in a poor mans shirtNow my ass was draggin when from a passin gypsy wagonYour heart like a diamond shoneTonight Im layin in your arms carvin lucky charmsOut of these heard luck bonesThese are better days babyThese are better days its trueThese are better daysTheres better days shining throughNow a life of leisure and a pirates treasureDont make much for tragedyBut its a sad man my friend whos livin in his own skinAnd cant stand the companyEvery fools got a reason to feelin sorry for himselfAnd turn his heart to stoneTonight this fools halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hellAnd I feel like Im comin homeThese are better days babyTheres better days shining throughThese are better daysBetter days with a girl like youThese are better days babyThese are better days its trueThese are better daysBetter days are shining throughRandy jackson, bassLisa lowell, backing vocalsPatti scialfa, backing vocalsSoozie tyrell, backing vocals
