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
