Better Days
Maybe if I just think out loud tonight
Then I'll know what to do
Five years all felt the same and then it changed
And I was loving you, better days for sure
Mary, our love still can bring violins
And roses to my mind
But I swear I haven't missed a moment of the life
I've left behind, it's just a fading sound
So be with me while decades turn us older
We've both much love that lasts a whole life through
We could live in Fife or out in Texas
Anywhere, as long as I'm with you
Last year it seemed the things we've worked for
Were all gonna come to pass
One hit proclaimed that Mrs. Reid's boys
Would finally pay some tax, thank the Lord for that
Now I'll admit I wasn't too impressed love
Events compound the doubts I've had before
The only struggle worth it is in the music
The other stuff can't interest me at all
Mary, we've got to see America
I need to ride those trains
This year we're going to take a jet plane there
No matter what it takes for the music's sake
