Well my soul check I'm missin'
To the hours and minutes that get away
I just sit around waitin' for my life to begin
But words are just slippin' away
On a train come run round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes
A woman I can call my friend
Fair days with a girl like you
Well, I took a kiss and felt a sweet kiss
Like a little caviar and dirt
to find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my head's worth a dragon
from a passing gypsy wagon
Your heart's like a diamond
Tonight I'm laying in your arms,
Under these hard -blood bones
Bad days with a girl like you
Now a whole life of leisure
Don't make much for tragedies
But it's a sad man, my friend,
you're livin' in his honest key
I can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason
to feel sorry for himself
And turn his heart to stone
Tonight this fool's head for the heaven
And feel like I'm coming home
These are better days, baby
These are better days, baby
The days are shining through
The days are shining through
these are better days, baby
Better days are shining through
