3 Our New World — Better Days Road

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sun’s climbing over the water tower Coffee brewing down at Miller’s diner Someone’s sweeping off the sidewalk Radio playing a little bit louder Old truck rolling down Main Street Kids on bikes racing bare feet Little town waking up slow But there’s something in the air today [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it’s the way folks wave Maybe it’s the plans we’re making Feels like the start of a better way [Chorus] Take the long road to the better days Windows down and the music plays Laugh a little louder than yesterday Let the good times lead the way Every mile brings a brighter view When we’re rolling toward something true If tomorrow’s gonna shine someday We’ll find it on this road to better days [Verse 2] Front porch lights in the evening glow Someone strumming on an old banjo Neighbors gathering in the yard Talking about how far we’ve come Fireflies in the summer air Someone pulls up another chair Every story gets a little hope Every laugh makes the future grow [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it’s the way folks care Maybe it’s the love we’re sharing Feels like something new is there [Chorus] Take the long road to the better days Windows down and the music plays Laugh a little louder than yesterday Let the good times lead the way Every mile brings a brighter view When we’re rolling toward something true If tomorrow’s gonna shine someday We’ll find it on this road to better days [Bridge] Dust and gravel under the tires But every mile lifts us higher [Final Chorus] Take the long road to the better days Windows down and the music plays Every heart finding its place Every smile lighting a face Every mile brings a brighter view When we’re rolling toward something true If tomorrow’s gonna shine someday We’ll find it on this road to better days [Outro]
