Brighter Days

Don't stop even for the right thing
 Does it matter what I say?
 My whole world was by that river
 Flowing off to meet the sea each day
 I don't want to move away, mm-mh
 Look at me and you 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, yeah
 Brighter days, where did they go
 Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
 Brighter days, where did they go
 Brighter days, where did they go
 Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
 Brighter days, yeah
 I am hopeful for where I'm going
 But I belong in The South
 That was where I was born a poor boy
 Living life like there's no end in sight
 Even so I've done without, yeah
 Brighter days where did they go?
 Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
 Brighter days, where did they go, yeah
 Brighter days, where did they go
 Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
 Brighter days, where did they go?
 Boy, you're 'bout to hit the bottom
 Brighter days where did they go?
 Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see
 Brighter days, where did they go
 Boy, you're 'bout to hit the bottom
 Brighter days, where did they go
 Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, go-oh-oh-ohhh
 Brighter days, hit the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom
 I feel alone, I feel I'm movin' there
 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 see
 Brighter days, where did they go?
 Da-da-da-da-da-da, Lord have mercy
 Brighter days, where did they go?
 Brighter days, where did they go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go?
 Brighter days, hit the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom
 Du-du-du-du
 Da-na-na-na
 Na-na-na-na
