Don't get angry, listen to the sounds Them good times will find the way back around And I've got the answers, go on and touch my skin Them better days always come back again
This life's a boat, boy, it all comes in waves On the radio, her laughter, and sweet mistakes And I wasn't loved well as a younger child So I'll pray these better unstable days, they stay awhile
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn There's a fire burnin' in the back 40 They're still findin' out who the hell I am And I'm so tired of wastin' it away Gonna find the time to realize I'm in deep on better days
She always told me there'd be times like these With a blue guitar, a city bar, and a streetlight kiss But I've never known quite what I deserve You try so hard and wind up gettin' burned
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn There's a fire burnin' in the back 40 I'm still findin' out who the hell I am And I'm so tired of wastin' it away Gonna find the time to realize I'm in deep on better days
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn There's a fire burnin' in the back 40 And I'm tryin' to change the man I am And I'm so tired of wastin' it away Gonna find the time to realize I'm in deep on better days Gonna find the time to realize I'm in deep on better days
