Uncle Kracker - "Better Days" lyrics
*** Complimentary Better Days Ringtone ***
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 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
Ain't out to hurt nobody
I'm just a MC to keep
The boogie in the party
Been singin' lodi dodi since '84
And I'll be singin lodi dodi
'Til I'm 84
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 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
CHORUS:
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 getting any younger
At times I wonder
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 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
Ain't out to hurt nobody
I'm just a MC to keep
The boogie in the party
Been singin' lodi dodi since '84
And I'll be singin lodi dodi
'Til I'm 84
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 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
CHORUS:
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 getting any younger
At times I wonder
At times I won't
Sometimes I give a f***
But most times I don't
Even care, through stained
Slass windows
These eyes stare
I try to stay straight
But it's kickin' my as*
Every time 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 limps
And my Dickies sag
It's been so long
Since I've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the
Bottom of this
Bottle of wine
Repeat chorus twice
Weel I been 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 grey 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 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
Repeat chorus twice
Sometimes I give a f***
But most times I don't
Even care, through stained
Slass windows
These eyes stare
I try to stay straight
But it's kickin' my as*
Every time 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 limps
And my Dickies sag
It's been so long
Since I've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the
Bottom of this
Bottle of wine
Repeat chorus twice
Weel I been 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 grey 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 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
Repeat chorus twice
