[00:00.09]Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
[00:01.95]To the hours and minutes tickin' away
[00:12.00]Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
[00:15.06]While it was all just slippin' away
[00:23.03]I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
[00:29.85]Or that train to come roarin' round the bend
[00:32.35]I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
[00:39.39]And a woman I can call my friend
[00:43.64]These are better days baby
[00:44.42]Yeah there's better days shining through
[00:51.39]These are better days baby
[00:56.10]Better days with a girl like you
[00:57.42]Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
[00:59.34]It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
[01:01.02]It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
[01:04.40]A rich man in a poor man's shirt
[01:06.68]Now my a*s was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
[01:13.53]Your heart like a diamond shone
[01:17.40]Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
[01:18.78]Out of these hard luck bones
[01:22.53]These are better days baby
[01:28.22]These are better days it true
[01:30.54]These are better days
[01:32.31]There's better days shining through
[01:39.00]Now a life of leisure and pirate's treasure
[01:51.42]Don't make much for tragedy
[01:57.90]But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
[02:06.95]And can't stand the company
[02:07.85]Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
[02:18.56]And turning his heart to stone
[02:21.71]Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
[02:47.31]And I feel like I'm comin' home
[02:58.56]These are better days baby
[02:59.43]There's better days shining through
[03:03.38]These are better days
[03:04.86]Better days with a girl like you
[03:09.33]These are better days baby
[03:10.19]These are better days it's true
[03:10.88]These are better days
[03:11.31]Better days are shining through
