Better Days - Bruce Springsteen

Better Days - Bruce Springsteen (STUDIO)

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 friend

These 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 heard 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 a 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 to feelin' sorry for himself
And turn 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

I love this song, really is brilliant

[xxx4Alia4xxx]

This song is a classic!

[labowu]

The gut wrenching truth of life. What music should be, what art should be, what this song is. In the tradition of Lorca, Poe, Cohen, and Cash. Thank you Bruce for sharing your loss and hope.

better days knowing he is on his way to Melbourne Australia...

[peppersdog1]

sung with true passion

[CycolacFan]

I think a new suit of clothes, a pretty red rose aand a woman you can call a friend seems like a pretty damn good deal out of life. I'll be happy with that.

[antoinecassar]

One of Bruce's most poetic songs. Thanks for the upload and the lyrics.

Lyrics of my life;

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...

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 to feelin' sorry for himself,

And turn 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...
