Better Days

Better Days

Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

Before I met you baby, things were going bad.
The banks were out of money, and holdin out their hands.
The man said we had to save them, or else we’d go to hell.
That’s when the trouble started, and folks began to yell!
Then things for me, went from bad to worse.
Only your love could save me, from this economic curse!

That’s why Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

We managed to get past that mess, escaped that ugly scene.
When the man said, as people, we’ve been awful mean.
He said there were folks out there that didn’t have the wealth,
To buy insurance, and maintain their good health!
I lost my job after that when the boss couldn’t pay.
If I could eat insurance, I’d be better off today!

Still, Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

Now I’m waiting, for that other shoe to drop.
It seems what we exhale, has to be stopped.
We’re polluting the planet, the Earth is getting hot.
The only way to fix it, is to buy windmills in Iraq!
If I didn’t know better, I’d think it’s all a plot.
Another way to take our paycheck and send it to Bangkok!

But, Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!

Chorus:
There’s always something else, that will bring you down.
Another way to take your money, by some other elected clown.
Or some gold diggin woman, that will play with your heart,
And a drunk in the bar, that’s inchin to start!

Now all that’s behind me, I’m ready for change.
You’ve given me hope, now my life’s rearranged.
I can’t get a job, but who needs one anyway.
Cause I got this guitar, that I’m willing to play!
I’ll sing songs about you, and how you changed my world.
And how you’ve made my days better, now that you’re my girl!

That’s why Better days are comin baby, better days it's true,
cause baby my days are better, since the day that I met you!
