Better days lyrics

Artist  : Bruce springsteen 
Song : Better days
 
Well my soul checked out missing as I sat
listening
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to
begin
While it was all just slippin' away
I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
And a woman I can call my friendThese are better
days baby
Yeah there's better days shining through
These are better days baby
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
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
charms
Out of these hard luck bones
These are better days baby
These are better days its 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
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' 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 its true
These are better days
Better days are shining through
