Better Days Ahead Lyrics

Alice packed up and walked out the door

Never turned to wave good-bye

I guess I should know why she had to go

But I don't know why

The barn burned down on Christmas

Took the cattle, horse and plow

They advise me it's gone, I should just soldier on

But I don't know how

They say that our trials make us stronger

I wonder each time that it's said

If despair leaves some room

I still have to assume

There'll be better days ahead

Sometimes I sit by the river

Just to watch the bodies float by

It's a puzzle at best, I should give it a rest

But I don't know why

I've found that what doesn't kill me

Simply leaves me shakin' my head

If despair leaves some room

I still have to assume

There'll be better days ahead

There'll be better days ahead
