Better Days Lyrics - Double Wide - Uncle Kracker

Eighty five 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 ain't out to hurt nobody 

I'm just a M C to keep the boogie in the party 

Been singin' lodi dodi since eighty four and 

I'll be singin' lodi dodi 'til 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 this 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 

I 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 fuck but most times I don't 

Even care, through stained glass windows these eyes stare 

I try to stay straight but it's kickin' my ass 

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 

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 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 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 

I 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 

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
