Uncle Kracker: Better days

85 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 out to hurt nobody I'm just a mc to keep the boogie in the party Been sittin lodi dodi since 84 and I'll be sittin lodi dodi till 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 the 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 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 gettin any yonger At times I wonder at, at times I won't Sometimes I give a fuck, but most times I don't Don't, don't even care Through stained glass windows these eyse stare I try to stay straight but it's kickin my ass Everytime I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past I sit half mass like a soldier's flag That's why my left leg limp's and my Dickies sag It's been so long since I've been fine I'm just tryin to see the bottom of the 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 came across all walks, I shook Jim Beam's hand I got no plans and no place to go It keeps gettin harder to just say no I see the people laugh and I see the people cry That's how some live and that's how some die Well me, myself I'm gonna sit righ here And I'm a watch this 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 Got to 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 the 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
