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?
