Better Days

from Downhauler by Marc Douglas Berardo

about

A kind of recovery song for a friend. "There is a mystic imagined river..."

lyrics

There is a thousand ways to get yourself lost
There is a million ways to find bad luck
Some days there is no mercy for the weary
The best-laid plans only leave you stuck
There is a light out on the horizon
There is refuge the end of the day
Where the wayward and wild are not forgotten
And the 4 winds will blow your troubles away

CH
STOP! Head homeward through the haze
There you will find better days
Out beyond pain and fear and misery
There are better ways
in the land of dreams and second chances
Where salvation is found
You must surrender and lay your troubles down
And when you’re ready
You will be standing on solid ground

Katie took her first hit back in Tulsa
And it rattled that woman to her core
So she chased that dragon to the end of the earth
Until she couldn’t chase that beast no more
Last night under the Florida stars
As the shuttle left Canaveral for the deep
Katie dropped that pipe in the sand
And stood up on her own two feet

There is a mystic imagined river
Some have sung about a glory train
That will carry the beaten the trouble sinner
Rolling thunder out of the pouring rain
