Bruce Springsteen - Better Days lyrics

Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening<br>To the hours and minutes tickin' away<br>Yeah, just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin<br>While it was all just slippin' away.<br>I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come<br>Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend.<br>I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose<br>And a woman I can call my friend<br><br>These are better days baby<br>Yeah there's better days shining through<br>These are better days baby<br>Better days with a girl like you<br><br>Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss<br>It's like eatin' caviar and dirt<br>It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending<br>A rich man in a poor man's shirt<br>Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon<br>Your heart like a diamond shone<br>Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms<br>Out of these heard luck bones<br><br>These are better days baby<br>These are better days it's true<br>These are better days<br>There's better days shining through<br><br>Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure<br>Don't make much for tragedy<br>But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin<br>And can't stand the company<br>Every fool's got a reason to feelin' sorry for himself<br>And turn his heart to stone<br>Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell<br>And I feel like I'm comin' home<br><br>These are better days baby<br>There's better days shining through<br>These are better days<br>Better days with a girl like you<br><br>These are better days baby<br>These are better days it's true<br>These are better days<br>Better days are shining through<br><br>Randy jackson, bass<br>Lisa lowell, backing vocals<br>Patti scialfa, backing vocals<br>Soozie tyrell, backing vocals
