Paul Thorn Better Days Ahead Lyrics

BETTER DAYS AHEAD

DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS
THE POURIN’ RAIN IS FLOODING THE STREETS AND LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN
THIS GREY COLD WEATHER
IS BRINGING US DOWN
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST PACK UP AND LEAVE TOWN
OUT THERE SOMEWHERE
THE SUN STILL SHINES
SOMEWHERE THE WATER TASTES JUST LIKE WINE.
WE’VE GOT TO BELIEVE WHERE THERE’S A WILL THERE’S A WAY
LET’S LIVE FOR TOMORROW
AND FORGET YESTERDAY

CHORUS
THERE’S BETTER DAYS AHEAD, BETTER DAYS AHEAD
WITH OUR LAST DIME
I’D BE WILLING TO BET THERE’S BETTER DAYS AHEAD

OVER OUR SHOULDER
WHAT DO WE SEE?
SOME TORE DOWN BRIDGES
AND BAD MEMORIES
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME
SINCE WE’VE HELD A WINNING HAND
BUT THE LONG DARK TUNNEL
HAS A LIGHT AT THE END.

WE’VE HAD HEARTACHES
AND FINANCIAL WOES,
BUT AT ROCK BOTTOM
THERE’S ONE WAY TO GO.
IF WE DON’T GET DISCOURAGED
IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
THIS IS JUST A LITTLE MOUNTAIN,
THAT I KNOW WE CAN CLIMB

CHORUS
