Better times, I see good news in between the lines I don't wanna look through everybody's eyes, just mine Rose tinted lenses Momma told me that im sensless Or maybe just a little too sensitive For the world y'all wanna know Cause I was tryna see past, every other side show Every other relapse, only thing that I know Is you could never bring back Battles that you lost, but you could've one Scared of the real world, better leave real fast It'll be okay, if your willing to believe that I'd hate to see ya on the sidelines Checked out looking real... mad Got to find good news, in better times I see good news in between the lines I don't wanna look through everybody's eyes, just mine Rose tinted lenses Momma told me that im sensless Or maybe just a little too sensitive For the world y'all wanna know Take a second You never had a chance to live forever But your here now, but your here now And if all I gots today Id be a fool not to even try Just lay down and die Like fuck it

I want you to know the truth 'Cause I've been around before Thought I wasn't looking anymore Been a fool for weeks 'Cause my heart stands for nothing And your soul's too weak Got a will that's been around for days Goes far, if you want it It needs to behave But then you, you come around Big mistake I don't want to know I don't want to know We don't need a sign to know Better times Running around 'cause you beat yourself up And you made a crack and the one that you love is gone How much longer can you play with fire Before you turn into a liar? Running around 'cause you beat yourself up And you made a crack and the one that you love is gone How much longer can you play with fire Before you turn into a liar? I've been around before Thought you weren't looking anymore But then we, we come and go Go up in smoke I don't want to know I don't want to know We don't need a sign to know Better times

My mother told me 'fore she passed away Said, son, when I'm gone, don't forget to pray 'Cause there'll be hard times, hard times, woah, yeah, yeah Who knows better than I? Well, I soon found out just what she meant When I had to pawn my clothes just to pay my rent Talkin' 'bout hard times, hard times, woah, yeah, yeah Who knows a little better than I? I had a woman, Lord, who's always around But when I lost my money, she put me down Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard, yeah, Lord Who knows better than I? Yeah, Lord, yeah, one of these days There'll be no more sorrow when I pass away And no more hard times, I said, no more hard, yeah, Lord Who knows, hey Lord, better than I?

I'm like a blind man driving, down both sides of the road I got nine hours behind me, I got nine more to go I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away I got my foot down to the floorboards, I'm in a one care race While my radio is slapping country tunes across my face I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away Well these pretzel sticks at Denny's don't give me much relief I got one eye on the State Patrol, the other eye is asleep I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away With my eyes part open dreaming, about sleeping in my bed Sinking deep into my pillow, till I gently lose my head I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away Oh this coffee just ain't working but I'll try another cup If my baby were here with me she'd know how to keep me up I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away I got all my windows open, got my head out in the wind I got J.C. on my dashboard, just in case I need a friend I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away My head is getting heavy, my eyes are killing me If I don't keep them open, I'll be looking up a tree I'm half asleep at the wheel I'm half asleep at the wheel, but I'm only half a day away

I built my love a house from the bottom to the top Did it all with my hands and the wood I chopped Then the times got rough, we had to sell our home But we kept our love, and we're still going strong That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives We've had our ups and downs, we yell instead of talk Well, we both ran around in a state of shock Lonely and afraid, we looked inside our hearts Found our love survived shining through the dark That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives And the smilin' face That's the place where love lives That's the way love is That's the place where love lives Anywhere you give That's the place where love lives

I I could be anything But for the fault that I've acquired on my way We We were the end of it But now we see the sun shining in our face We see the sun shining in our face So come on, come on we can be saved The lives we live, the wars we wage When everyone just tells us how to feel We're sleeping at the wheel And I I would give anything But for the grace of God I'm here and still aware We know the end is overrated We've become the walls we raise We don't believe enough but we still cared Standing on the edge without a prayer So come on, come on it's all we got Our hands are full, our lives are not The loose affiliation with the real We're sleeping at the wheel All of the time we've lost All of the love we gave And now these hands are tied I can't help thinking That I was in a daze I was losing my place I was screaming out at everything Waiting for the walls to come down Before my moments starts to fade But everything that's perfect falls away So come on, come on we can be saved The lives we live, the wars we wage When everyone just tells us how to feel We're sleeping at the wheel We're sleeping at the wheel Just sleeping at the wheel
