wake up in the morning
with smile on my face
not innocent man
but life is great
drink and smoke
chilling around
nothing you'll say would bring me down
been in prison
went through hell
but when I wake up in the morning
it all goes away
beautiful day
the skies are blue
my dogs are living
my family too
the past is gone
live the moment
but don't forget
to smile in the morning

chorus: better days, better days, better days
here comes better days

my grandma 80yo
buried 3 kids
husband and her soul
but she prays the lord
keep smiling everyday
she knows yesterday pass
tomorrow will bring better days

repeat chorus

all the brothers in the street
keep smiling
all the mothers that weep
wipe your eyes
for all the sisters daughters and wife's
don't worry 4bout a thing
just live your life
what you been to
what ever to come
don't stop laughing
cause here they come
better days...
