[Verse 1] I woke up with the rent on my mind And a bent spoon in the sink Had two good shoes, one torn sleeve Still I dressed up to think Poured a little sugar in my tea Let it shine like a spell Momma said, son, keep your head up You can’t hear the storm from the well [Pre-Chorus] I know this road gets rough I know we’ve had enough But I can feel it moving Under my skin [Chorus] Better days are coming Better days are coming Hold that line, baby Hold that line, baby Better days are coming Better days are coming If we keep on dancing We’re gonna make it in [Verse 2] Saw Miss June on the corner stoop With a laugh like a tambourine Old man Ray with a pocket full Of cracked-up lucky things We passed around a little bad news Then we passed the plate By the time that sun got low We had hope on every face [Pre-Chorus] I know this road gets rough I know we’ve had enough But I can feel it moving Under my skin [Chorus] Better days are coming Better days are coming Hold that line, baby Hold that line, baby Better days are coming Better days are coming If we keep on dancing We’re gonna make it in [Bridge] Let the hard times talk Let them run their mouth I’ve seen joy pull up When the lights go out So take my hand, baby Spin me slow What we need is already On its way home [Final Chorus] Better days are coming Better days are coming Hold that line, baby Hold that line, baby Better days are coming Better days are coming If we keep on dancing We’re gonna make it in Better days are coming Better days are coming Come on now, baby We’re gonna make it in
