The Southern Fall Better Day Lyrics
Better Day by The Southern Fall
[Verse]
I ain't livin' for today
Too much gettin' in my way
Trouble everywhere I turn
I touch your hand, and I get burned
Every right becomes a wrong
It's like a country music song
The Man in Black's got nothing on me,
Except he sings in a cooler key
[Chorus]
Tomorrow will be a better day
No more gettin' blown away
If I ride out this wicked storm,
I'll find a place that's dry and warm
[Verse]
The taxman's hot on my trail
Wants to send me straight to jail
No, I don't have a single cent
All my money has been spent
My ex is beatin' down my door
Man, she's scary when she roars
But she's after more than the cash
She wants to turn my soul to ash
[Chorus]
Tomorrow will be a better day
No more gettin' blown away
If the stars somehow align,
This world will be a friend of mine
If the stars somehow align,
This world will be a friend of mine
[Verse]
I ain't livin' for today
Something big is on the way
Time for me to shed my skin
And find the power from within
I'm tired of livin' on the fringe
Tired of gettin' my ass singed
I'm settin' out for the winning end
Good fortune is around the bend
[Chorus]
Tomorrow will be a better day
No more gettin' blown away
The good life is in front of me
That much I can guarantee
The good life is in front of me
That much I can guarantee
It's gonna be all right
Yeah, it's gonna be all right
I ain't livin' for today
Too much gettin' in my way
Trouble everywhere I turn
I touch your hand, and I get burned
Every right becomes a wrong
It's like a country music song
The Man in Black's got nothing on me,
Except he sings in a cooler key
[Chorus]
Tomorrow will be a better day
No more gettin' blown away
If I ride out this wicked storm,
I'll find a place that's dry and warm
[Verse]
The taxman's hot on my trail
Wants to send me straight to jail
No, I don't have a single cent
All my money has been spent
My ex is beatin' down my door
Man, she's scary when she roars
But she's after more than the cash
She wants to turn my soul to ash
[Chorus]
Tomorrow will be a better day
No more gettin' blown away
If the stars somehow align,
This world will be a friend of mine
If the stars somehow align,
This world will be a friend of mine
[Verse]
I ain't livin' for today
Something big is on the way
Time for me to shed my skin
And find the power from within
I'm tired of livin' on the fringe
Tired of gettin' my ass singed
I'm settin' out for the winning end
Good fortune is around the bend
[Chorus]
Tomorrow will be a better day
No more gettin' blown away
The good life is in front of me
That much I can guarantee
The good life is in front of me
That much I can guarantee
It's gonna be all right
Yeah, it's gonna be all right
