Brighter Days
Don't stop even for the right thing
Does it matter what I say?
My whole world was by that river
Flowing off to meet the sea each day
I don't want to move away, mm-mh
Look at me and you say "What's wrong boy?"
What else do you want me to say?
I don't want to leave tomorrow
Been and gone, but I belong here now
Your big world can wait another day, yeah
Brighter days, where did they go
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, where did they go
Brighter days, where did they go
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, yeah
I am hopeful for where I'm going
But I belong in The South
That was where I was born a poor boy
Living life like there's no end in sight
Even so I've done without, yeah
Brighter days where did they go?
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, where did they go, yeah
Brighter days, where did they go
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, where did they go?
Boy, you're 'bout to hit the bottom
Brighter days where did they go?
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, where did they go
Boy, you're 'bout to hit the bottom
Brighter days, where did they go
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, go-oh-oh-ohhh
Brighter days, hit the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom
I feel alone, I feel I'm movin' there
To a land you never saw, and I see you bout' to hit the bottom
Lord help me move away to a land you never saw and I see
Brighter days, where did they go?
Da-da-da-da-da-da, Lord have mercy
Brighter days, where did they go?
Brighter days, where did they go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go?
Brighter days, hit the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom
Du-du-du-du
Da-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Does it matter what I say?
My whole world was by that river
Flowing off to meet the sea each day
I don't want to move away, mm-mh
Look at me and you say "What's wrong boy?"
What else do you want me to say?
I don't want to leave tomorrow
Been and gone, but I belong here now
Your big world can wait another day, yeah
Brighter days, where did they go
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, where did they go
Brighter days, where did they go
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, yeah
I am hopeful for where I'm going
But I belong in The South
That was where I was born a poor boy
Living life like there's no end in sight
Even so I've done without, yeah
Brighter days where did they go?
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, where did they go, yeah
Brighter days, where did they go
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, where did they go?
Boy, you're 'bout to hit the bottom
Brighter days where did they go?
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
Brighter days, where did they go
Boy, you're 'bout to hit the bottom
Brighter days, where did they go
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, go-oh-oh-ohhh
Brighter days, hit the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom
I feel alone, I feel I'm movin' there
To a land you never saw, and I see you bout' to hit the bottom
Lord help me move away to a land you never saw and I see
Brighter days, where did they go?
Da-da-da-da-da-da, Lord have mercy
Brighter days, where did they go?
Brighter days, where did they go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go?
Brighter days, hit the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom
Du-du-du-du
Da-na-na-na
