Lyrics

Brighter Days

I've been walking down this road, trying to lose my heavy load
I've been looking for a sign that says you are a friend of mine
I've been trying to find my way, through the darkness and the haze
Trying to find brighter days

I finally found a job, after looking for so long
But the boss man he said, Joe, I'm gonna have to let you go
On a wing and a prayer, I've got my thumb in the air
Looking for a ride to anywhere

I've been walking down this road, trying to lose my heavy load
I've been looking for a sign that says you are a friend of mine
I've been trying to find my way, through the darkness and the haze
Trying to find brighter days

I walked another mile, stopped to rest for awhile
The sheriff came along, said, you best be moving on
I've got holes in both my shoes; I've been paying my walking dues
Trying to lose these hard luck blues

I've been walking down this road, trying to lose my heavy load
I've been looking for a sign that says you are a friend of mine
I've been trying to find my way, through the darkness and the haze
Trying to find brighter days
