lyrics

Things Will Get Better,
Somewhere Down The Road

“Will I always be this poor?” I heard the young girl say
as she reached into her purse at a grocery store to pay.
“I don’t need this, I can do without”,
I heard her softly speak,
and only filled one bag to hold her for a week.

But things will get better, and we’ll be out of debt.
I can feel the good times coming, they just ain’t here yet.
It could be a whole lot worse, this ain’t a heavy load.
Things will get better, somewhere down the road.

His sign said, “Work For Food, anything around”.
Sitting on a curb staring at the ground.
“I got a wife and three kids living in a shack,
I just gotta bring them food, or else I can’t go back.”

But things will get better, and we’ll be out of debt.
I can feel the good times coming, they just ain’t here yet.
It could be a whole lot worse, this ain’t a heavy load.
Things will get better, somewhere down the road.

They were living in a van camped out at a park.
He labored all the summer from sun up till dark.
Making just enough to get by, with nothing left to keep,
Still happy every night, he’d sing them all to sleep.

Singing, “Things will get better, and we’ll be out of debt.
I can feel the good times coming, they just ain’t here yet.
It could be a whole lot worse,
this ain’t a heavy load, and things will get better,
somewhere down the road.”
