Verse 1 He learned to read the weather By the sound of his old man’s boots Slingin’ curse words, slammin’ doors Signs a storm was comin’ through His mama did her best to shield him But she was caught in the hurricane’s path ‘Til she found the strength to pack what she could grab Hopin’ to find some greener grass… Chorus Hope is a beautiful drug When life’s been rainin’ pain Ya haven’t seen the sun Shinin’ down on your face When you’re buried deep in darkness And ready to give up Know that better days are comin’ Hope is a beautiful drug Verse 2 Searched for relief in a bottle Tried a needle, took some pills Anything to erase the memories That were hauntin’ him still Wasted years chasin’ comfort Down roads that nearly broke him Til he found somethin’ more potent Than the stuff he’d been smokin’… Chorus Hope is a beautiful drug When life’s been rainin’ pain Ya haven’t seen the sun Shinin’ down on your face When you’re buried deep in darkness And ready to give up Know that better days are comin’ Hope is a beautiful drug Bridge Now there’s a minivan in the driveway Little boots by the door Got a wife who’s crazy ‘bout him There’s so much worth livin’ for And every dark day stays silent He longed to let ‘em go He learned yesterday don’t own today And that’s what gives him hope… Chorus Hope is a beautiful drug When life’s been rainin’ pain Ya haven’t seen the sun Shinin’ down on your face When you’re buried deep in darkness And ready to give up Know that better days are comin’ Hope is a beautiful drug Outro Yeah… Better days are comin’ (better days are comin’) Better days are comin’ (better days are comin’) Hope is a beautiful drug (hope is a beautiful drug) Hope is a beautiful drug… Better days are comin’ (better days are comin’) Better days are comin’… Hope is a beautiful drug… Hope is a beautiful drug…
