    "Sitting around waiting for my life to begin while it was all just slipping away..." The first time I heard this song that line grabbed me, cause I knew right away that's what I was doing. Thanks Bruce for helping me get my life out of neutral!

    My absolute favorite Bruce song and his vocal here is better than the studio recording. Exceptional. I'm blown away that Rolling Stone magazine listed this at #70 in their pantheon of top 100 Springsteen recordings. They're nuts, it should be top 10!

    "Well a life of leisure and a pirates treasure don't make much for tragedy
    But it's a sad man my friend who's living in his own skin
    And can't stand the company."
    So profound. A true American poet who knows America's soul.

    I first saw live Bruce in the UK back in '82 at age 16, then again in '85, taking my beloved little sister to her first concert at St. James Park. In 2020 when I was in an awful place, the song really meant more than i can say, and helped me get through that awful time. In 2021 then get worse incredibly ,and now in 2024 we face an awful potential future. I'm not a person of faith, but I pray for :Better Days".

      This song is a belter......reminds me of how I felt after a marriage breakdown and divorce then finding a girl I had actually known for a longe time!

    Lyrics:
    Well, my soul checked out missing, as I sat listening
    To the hours and minutes ticking away
    Yeah, just sittin' 'round waitin' for my life to begin
    While it was all just slipping away
    Well, I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
    Or the train to come roarin' 'round the bend
    I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose
    A woman I can call my friend
    These are better days, baby
    Yeah, there's better days shining through
    These are better days, baby
    Better days with a girl like you
    Well, I took a piss at Fortune's sweet kiss
    It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
    But it's a sad funny ending when you find yourself pretending
    A rich man in a poor man's shirt
    Now my ass was draggin' from a passing gypsy wagon
    Your heart like a diamond shone
    Tonight I'm laying in your arms, carving lucky charms
    Yeah, out of these hard luck bones
    These are better days, baby
    These are better days, it's true
    These are better days, baby
    There's better days shining through
    Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
    Don't make much for tragedy
    But it's a sad man, my friend, who's livin' in his own skin
    And can't stand the company
    Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
    And turning his heart to stone
    Tonight, this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
    And I feel like I'm comin' home
    These are better days, baby
    There's better days shining through
    These are better days, baby
    Better days with a girl like you
    These are better days, baby
    These are better days, it's true
    These are better days, baby
    Better days are shining through
    These are better days, baby
    Ah, better days, it's true
    These are better days, baby
    Better days are shining through
    These are better days, baby
    Ah, better days, it's true
    These are better days, baby
    Better days are shining through
    These are better days
    These are better days
    Better days are shining through
    These are better days
    These are better days

      Not average. This song is spectacular! I would give anything to hear Better Days instead of Dancing in the Dark. And I love Dancing in the Dark too

    Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
    To the hours and minutes tickin’ away
    Yeah, just sittin’ around waitin’ for my life to begin
    While it was all just slippin’ away.
    I’m tired of waitin’ for tomorrow to come
    Or that train to come roarin’ ’round the bend
    I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
    And a woman I can call my friend
    These are better days baby
    Yeah there’s better days shining through
    These are better days baby
    Better days with a girl like you
    Well I took a piss at fortune’s sweet kiss
    It’s like eatin’ caviar and dirt
    It’s a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
    A rich man in a poor man’s shirt
    Now my ass was draggin’ when from a passin’ gypsy wagon
    Your heart like a diamond shone
    Tonight I’m layin’ in your arms carvin’ lucky charms
    Out of these heard luck bones
    These are better days baby
    These are better days it’s true
    These are better days
    There’s better days shining through
    Now a life of leisure and a pirate’s treasure
    Don’t make much for tragedy
    But it’s a sad man my friend who’s livin’ in his own skin
    And can’t stand the company
    Every fool’s got a reason to feelin’ sorry for himself
    And turn his heart to stone
    Tonight this fool’s halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
    And I feel like I’m comin’ home
    These are better days baby
    There’s better days shining through
    These are better days
    Better days with a girl like you
    These are better days baby
    These are better days it’s true
    These are better days
    Better days are shining through

    Bruce Springsteen is a talented musician. He is not a god and he did create you out of the the literal dust of the earth. Where was your body 100 year ago?
