Better n' Worse
Neighbor shared a story that's been sticking to my heart
Said he and a pal hitch-hiked a ride down to Shreveport
He had a little note that his Daddy had wrote
Said he had permission to take a ride out of Buffalo
Now at this point he was fifteen years old it was Easter break
And man it was time to go
They made it quite far and they ran out of speed
Had to catch a lift the opposite way just to keep on moving
So what did you do when you made it down there
A whole lot of nothing
Caught a little bit of fresh air, some fish, and a couple of beers
Oh times they are different now
For better and worse
Oh times they are different now
For better and worse
Told him I got a job I think I'd like to quit
He nodded a minute and adjusted his stance
I tried a lot of things in my life to varying levels of success
And I never stopped searching
And it's best you keep that fire in your heart burning too
I went back inside and a couple years went by
Now I keep on thinking old Frank was pretty wise
You sort of settle for the moment and lock into place
What he was trying to say was sometimes you got to go the wrong way
To find what's right
So what did you do when you made it down there
A whole lot of nothing
Caught a little bit of fresh air, some fish, and a couple of beers
Oh times they are different now
For better and worse
Oh times they are different now
For better and worse
What did you find
I found that times are a little different now
And I can't be so sure
Of what we lost
And never had
Said he and a pal hitch-hiked a ride down to Shreveport

Now at this point he was fifteen years old it was Easter break
