My clothes are dirty and my hair must be a mess
It’s been a week of Sundays sinced I bathed, I must confess
I guess I’m down and out… I’m down for sure, without a doubt
I’m doing okay, but I have seen better days
I’m okay, but I have seen better days
I haven’t sat down to a good hot meal in quite a while
I could resort to stealing, but it’s really not my style
A job would sure be sweet to help me get back on my feet
You could say that I have seen better days
I’m okay, but I have seen better days
I’m looking for better days; I don’t live in the past
I know that hard times come along, but never last
I keep my spirits up and look for good in everyone
I’m looking for better days to come my way; Better days
I’m looking for better days; Better days
I guess I’ll move along before the night chill comes
I need to find a safe place to sleep until the dawn
The people in this town are not kind if you’re down
If you want to pray for me; pray for better days
I’m okay, but I have seen better days
I’m looking for better days; I don’t live in the past
I know that hard times come along, but never last
I keep my spirits up and look for good in everyone
I’m looking for better days to come my way; Better days
I’m looking for better days; Better days
