Better Days Lyrics

The song Better Days is performed by Uncle Kracker in the album named Double Wide in the year 2000 .

Eighty five miles out of Nashville, thinkin' 'bout the way things change
Try an' keep it by the reigns
I'm a lone drifter big money flipper
Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter
I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana
I never had no lovin' like I had in Alabama
A man of my word and ain't out to hurt nobody
I'm just a M C to keep the boogie in the party

Been singin' lodi dodi since eighty four and
I'll be singin' lodi dodi 'til I'm eighty four
I couldn't ask for more, life's been sweet
So you can save the planet, I'll save your seat
I been gone for weeks, I ain't slept in days
I can't find myself in this self made maze
It's been so long since I've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

And I know I'll see better days
Well, I know you'll see things my way

I never thought about change until
I spend a little time where time stood still
Been lookin' for a mill but I keep comin' up shy
I been a broke fool, I ain't tryin' to be that guy
Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder
I'm tryin' to get some money, I ain't getting any younger
At times I wonder, at times I won't
Sometimes I give a f**k but most times I don't

Even care, through stained gla*s windows these eyes stare
I try to stay straight but it's kickin' my a*s
Every time I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past
I sit half ma*s like a soldier's flag
That's why my left leg limps and my d**kies sag
It's been so long since I've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

And I know I'll see better days
Well, I know you'll see things my way

And I know I'll see better days
Well, I know you'll see things my way

Well, I been all around this crooked land
I come across walks, I shook Jim Beam's hand
I got no plans and no place to go
It keep getting harder to just say no
I see the people laugh and people cry
That's how some live and that's how some die
Well me myself I'm gonna sit right here
And I'm a watch this world break down in tears

All my fears and dark gray skies
Couldn't crack my smile or break my stride
Got too much pride, I got too much shout
I might be down but I still ain't out
I got too much time and that's all I have
When I leave this world I'll still be sad
It's been so long since I've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

And I know I'll see better days
Well I know you'll see things my way

And I know I'll see better days
Well I know you'll see things my way
