Better Days

I've been living away from my home town I strayed away from the farm I've been gone a long time now I've seen changes happening round here Faces come and go Now I'm back and it's like I'd never gone I've been looking for better days I've been looking for another way to live my life And I've been looking for better days Only a fool runs from his dreams I've been running all my life Red tail lights on the freeway line Concrete blue and cold black steel, you can hear them diesels whine Grinning used car salesman on the other line Well it's midnight in the desert and the frost is coming down The night time burns like a red hot wire Everything is quiet now, you can watch the embers glow Talk and stare until tomorrow
