[Verse 1] I woke up tired With work on my back Boots full of rain And a heart felt cracked The bills piled high The nights ran long But I kept my name And I kept my song [Pre-Chorus] I seen that door At the end of the pain A little bit of light Breaking through the strain [Chorus] Better days coming Better days on the way Better days coming I can feel them today Hold on, baby We gonna make it through Better days coming I’m coming out with you [Verse 2] Grandma said, boy Don’t bow to the ground Even a hurtin’ tree Still reaches out I wore that hope Like a Sunday suit Torn at the sleeve But it fit right through [Pre-Chorus] Now the sky looks clear Where the tears ran down I hear change moving Underneath this town [Chorus] Better days coming Better days on the way Better days coming I can feel them today Hold on, baby We gonna make it through Better days coming I’m coming out with you [Bridge] Let the long night break Let the hard road bend What got lost in the dark Comes back again I been bruised, I been bent But I never let go There’s a warm wind rising On the edge of my soul [Final Chorus] Better days coming Better days on the way Better days coming I can feel them today Hold on, baby We gonna make it through Better days coming I’m coming out with you Better days coming Better days on the way Better days coming We gonna live that way
