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
