There's a Better Times a Coming

(Music)

Well, I talked to a friend just the other day
Said he lost his job and he's moving away
WeII, the bank got his house, and the dealer took his car
He lost his son over in the war

There's better times coming in the end you can bet
There's better times a-coming, but they ain't here yet
Don't worry my friend, oh, don't you fret
There's better times a-coming in the end you can bet

(Music)

Well, if you read the paper or you turn on the news
It doesn't take long and you've got the blues
There's another suicide and a terrorist attack
And a big name bank's throwing in the sack

Mr. President down at the White House
Making new promises to bail us out
Further into debt with this next bill
Lord, I can see us slipping over the hill

There's better times coming in the end you can bet
There's better times a-coming, but they ain't here yet
Don't worry my friend, oh, don't you fret
There's better times a-coming in the end you can bet

(Music)

So I picked my bible and I read the book of John
And I saw the best news in I don't know how long
Jesus said He's a-coming to receive His own
And you better be ready if you want to be goin'

There's better times coming in the end you can bet
There's better times a-coming, but they ain't here yet
Don't worry my friend, oh, don't you fret
There's better times a-coming in the end you can bet

There's better times a-coming, there's better times a-coming
There's better times a-coming in the end you can bet
(Music)
