How i really feel...

Brighter Days

Don’t stop even for the right thing ⁄ 
does it matter what I say? ⁄ 
My whole world was by that river ⁄ 
flowin’ north to meet the sea each day ⁄ 
I don’t want to move away ⁄ ⁄ 
You look at me and ya say “what’s wrong boy?” ⁄ 
What else do you want me to say? ⁄ 
I don’t want to leave tomorrow ⁄ 
been and gone but I belong here now ⁄ 
Your big world can wait another day ⁄ 

⁄ Brighter days where did they go? ⁄ 

⁄ I am hopeful for where I’m goin’ ⁄ 
but I belong in the South ⁄ 
That was where I’s born a po’ boy ⁄ 
livin’ life like there’s no end in sight ⁄ 
Even so I’ve done without ⁄ 

⁄ Brighter days where did they go? ⁄

Boy you about to hit the bottom ⁄ 
I’ll be alone I feel I’m movin’ where ⁄ 
To a land you never saw ⁄ 
and I see you ‘bout to hit the bottom ⁄ 
Lord help me move away ⁄ 
to a land you never saw ⁄ 

and I’ve seen ⁄ ⁄ Brighter days where did they go?
