Brighter days Quote by Kid Rock
“Livin' my life in a slow hell Different girl everynight at the hotel I ain't seen the sunshine in three damn days Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey Wish I had a good girl to miss me Lord, I wonder if I'll ever change my ways I put your picture away Sat down and cried today I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her I put your picture away Sat down and cried today I can't look at you, while I'm lyin' next to her I called you last night in the hotel Everyone knows but they won't tell But their half hearted smiles tell me Somethin' just ain't right I been waitin' on you for a long time Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine I ain't heard from you in three damn nights I put your picture away I wonder where you've been I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him I put your picture away I wonder where you've been I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him I saw you yesterday with an old friend It was the same old same, How have you been? Since you been gone my world's been dark and gray You reminded me of brighter days I hoped you were comin' home to stay I was headed to church I was off to drink you away I thought about you for a long time Can't seem to get you off my mind I can't understand why we're living life this way I found your picture today I swear I'll change my ways I just called to say, I want you to come back homeà I found your picture today I swear I'll change my ways I just called to say,I want you to come back home I just called to say, I love you, come back home”
