Better Days

85 miles out of Nashville, thinkinÔÇÖ bout the way things change

Try an keep it by the reigns

IÔÇÖm a lone drifter, big money flipper

Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter

I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana

I never had no lovinÔÇÖ like I had in Alabama

A man of my word ainÔÇÖt out to hurt nobody

IÔÇÖm jus a m c to keep the boogie in the party

Been singinÔÇÖ laadi daadi since 84 and

IÔÇÖll be singinÔÇÖ laadi daadi ÔÇ˙til IÔÇÖm 84

I couldnÔÇÖt ask for more, lifeÔÇÖs been sweet

So you can save the planet, IÔÇÖll save your seat



BRIDGE



I been gone for weeks, I ainÔÇÖt slept in days

I canÔÇÖt find myself in this self made maze

ItÔÇÖs been so long since IÔÇÖve been fine

IÔÇÖm just tryinÔÇÖ to see the bottom of this bottle of wine



CHORUS



And I know IÔÇÖll see better days

Well I know youÔÇÖll see things my way



I never thought about change until

Spend a little time where time stood still

Been lookinÔÇÖ for a mill but I keep cominÔÇÖ up shy

I been a broke fool, I ainÔÇÖt tryinÔÇÖ to be that guy

Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder

IÔÇÖm tryinÔÇÖ to get some money, I ainÔÇÖt getting any younger

At times I wonder, at times I wonÔÇÖt

Sometimes I give a fuck but most times I donÔÇÖt

ÔÇŞeven care, through stained glass windows these eyes stare

I try to stay straight but itÔÇÖs kickinÔÇÖ my ass

Every time I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past

I sit half mass like a soldierÔÇÖs flag

ThatÔÇÖs why my left leg limps and my Dickies sag

ItÔÇÖs been so long since IÔÇÖve been fine

IÔÇÖm just tryinÔÇÖ to see the bottom of this bottle of wine



REPEAT CHORUS



Well I been all around this crooked land

I come across all walks, I shook Jim BeamÔÇÖs hand

I got no plans and no place to go

It keeps getting harder to just say no

I see the people laugh and people cry

ThatÔÇÖs how some live and thatÔÇÖs how some die

Well me myself IÔÇÖm gonna sit right here

And IÔÇÖm a watch this world break down in tears

All my fears and dark gray skies

CouldnÔÇÖt crack my smile or break my stride

Got too much pride, I got too much shout

I might be down but I still ainÔÇÖt out

Got too much time and thatÔÇÖs all I have

When I leave this world IÔÇÖll still be sad

ItÔÇÖs bee so long since IÔÇÖve been fine

IÔÇÖm just tryinÔÇÖ to see the bottom of this bottle of wine



REPEAT CHORUS
