Better Days Lyrics

Maybe if I just think out loud tonight
then I'd know what to do
Five years all felt the same and then it changed
and I was loving you
Better days, for sure

Mary, our love still can bring violins
and roses to my mind
But I swear I haven't missed a moment
of the life I left behind
it's just a fading sound

So be with me while decades turn us older
We've both much love to last a whole life through
We could live in Fife or out in Texas
Anywhere, as long as I'm with you

Last year it seemed the things we've worked for
were all gonna come to pass
One hit proclaimed that Mrs. Reid's boys
would finally pay some tax
Thank the Lord for that!

Now I'll admit I wasn't too impressed love
Events confound the doubts I've had before
The only struggle worth it's in the music
The other stuff can't interest me at all

Mary, we've got to see America
I need to ride those trains
This year we're gonna take a jet plane there
no matter what it takes
For the music's sake
