Let's go drivin' on this highway Let me wander far and wide Got my arm out on the window With my baggage on fire by my side All I see is this orange color I see it glowing a burning blaze I can't recall just why I'm here now But I still remember better days Better days (better days) I know they'll come again And save me from this end Help me carry on Better days (better days) I can't keep going this way Somethin's gotta help me stay With this world oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I still don't know what I did wrong I never asked for this jacket I wear Words flicker like a flame in the breeze Their falling to the ground like leaves Crashing down And these miles don't seem to make things fine Like I'd hoped This distance would And I drive like I got no place to be But only you can set me free If you only would Better days (better days) I ain't got a dime to call you But you wouldn't answer So what's the point Better days (better days) I can taste them on my tongue But it's fading like the setting Sun It'll soon be gone oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
