Better Days-Bruce Springsteen

Well my soul checked out missing
As I sat listening
To the hours and minutes ticking away
Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
While it was all just slippin' away
Or that train to come roarin' around the bend
I got a new suit of clothes, a pretty red rose
And a woman I can call my friend

These are better days
Yeah there's better days shining through
These are better days
Better days with a girl like you

Well I took a piss
At fortune's sweet kiss
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
It's a sad funny ending
To find yourself pretending
You're a rich man in a poor man's shirt
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 charm
Out of these hard luck bones

These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
There's better days shining through

Now a life of leisure and pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy
It's a sad man my friend who's living in his own skin
And can't stand the company
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

These are better days baby
There's better days shining through
These are better days
Better days with a girl like you

These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
Better days are shining through
