Better Days Lyrics
[Verse 1: Zach Bryan]
Don't get angry, listen to the sounds
Them good times will find their way back around
And I’ve got the answers, go on and touch my skin
Them better days always come back again
[Verse 2: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
This life's a boat, boy, it all comes in waves
On the radio, her laughter and sweet mistakes
And I wasn't loved well as a younger child
So I’ll pray these better, unstable days, they stay awhile
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
There's a fire burnin' in the back forty
I'm still findin' out who the hell I am
And I'm so tired of wastin' it away
Gonna find the time to realize
I’m in deep on better days
[Verse 3: Zach Bryan & John Mayer]
She always told me there’d be times like this
With a blue guitar, a city bar and a streetlight kiss
But I've never known quite what I deserve
You try so hard and wind up gettin’ burned
Don't get angry, listen to the sounds
Them good times will find their way back around
And I’ve got the answers, go on and touch my skin
Them better days always come back again
[Verse 2: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
This life's a boat, boy, it all comes in waves
On the radio, her laughter and sweet mistakes
And I wasn't loved well as a younger child
So I’ll pray these better, unstable days, they stay awhile
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
There's a fire burnin' in the back forty
I'm still findin' out who the hell I am
And I'm so tired of wastin' it away
Gonna find the time to realize
I’m in deep on better days
[Verse 3: Zach Bryan & John Mayer]
She always told me there’d be times like this
With a blue guitar, a city bar and a streetlight kiss
But I've never known quite what I deserve
You try so hard and wind up gettin’ burned
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
There's a fire burnin' in the back forty
I’m still findin' out who the hell I am
And I'm so tired of wasting it away
Gonna find the time to realize
I'm in deep on better days
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
There's a fire burnin' in the back forty
And they're tryin' to change the man I am
And I'm so tired of wastin' it away
Gonna find the time to realize
I'm in deep on better days
Gonna find the time to realize
I'm in deep on better days
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
There's a fire burnin' in the back forty
I’m still findin' out who the hell I am
And I'm so tired of wasting it away
Gonna find the time to realize
I'm in deep on better days
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Zach Bryan]
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
There's a fire burnin' in the back forty
And they're tryin' to change the man I am
And I'm so tired of wastin' it away
Gonna find the time to realize
I'm in deep on better days
Gonna find the time to realize
I'm in deep on better days
