text: 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
  Im 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 friend
  These are better days baby
  Yeah theres better days shining through
  These are better days baby
  Better days with a girl like you
  Well I took a piss at fortunes sweet kiss
  Its like eatin caviar and dirt
  Its sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
  A rich man in a poor mans shirt
  Now my ass was draggin when from a passin gypsy wagon
  Your heart like a diamond shone
  Tonight Im 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
  Theres better days shining through
  Now a life of leisure and a pirates treasure
  Dont make much for tragedy
  But its a sad man my friend whos livin in his own skin
  And cant stand the company
  Every fools got a reason for feelin sorry for himself
  And turning his heart to stone
  Tonight this fools halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
  And I feel like Im comin home
  These are better days baby
  Theres 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
