- Better Days Lyrics85 miles out of Nashville, thinking about 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 loving 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 sitting 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've 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 trying 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
Spend a little time where time stood still
Been looking for a mill, but I keep coming up shy
I been a broke fool, I ain't trying to be that guy
Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder
I'm trying to get some money I ain't getting any younger
At times I wonder at, at times I won't
Sometimes I give a f*ck, but most times I don't
Don't, don't even care
Through stained glass windows these eyes stare
I try to stay straight but it's kicking 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 trying 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 came across all walks, I shook Jim Beam's hand
I got no plans and no place to go
It keeps 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 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 trying 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
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 loving 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 sitting 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've 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 trying 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

When we try to interpret the meaning, the track 'Better Days' by Uncle Kracker is a meditation on the fights and also, the disappearance of life-lit, with the singer giving a mixed view of strong and weak human beings along the way. The words seem to carry a weight of feeling very sorry for the bad times of the past and at the same time, very much welcoming the good times to come, as the hopeful future is being drawn with the metaphor of the exhausting and confusing problem of wine drinking and trying to see the end of the wine bottle. Better days lyrics mainly speak about reflection, angst, nostalgia, hope and joy. The song also emphasizes the need of reflection and transformation, identity crisis, hope and perseverance along the path of life and experiences.
