There's a Better Times a Coming

(Music)

Well, I talked to a friend just the other day

Said he lost his job and he's moving away

WeII, the bank got his house, and the dealer took his car

He lost his son over in the war

There's better times coming in the end you can bet

There's better times a-coming, but they ain't here yet

Don't worry my friend, oh, don't you fret

There's better times a-coming in the end you can bet

(Music)

Well, if you read the paper or you turn on the news

It doesn't take long and you've got the blues

There's another suicide and a terrorist attack

And a big name bank's throwing in the sack

Mr. President down at the White House

Making new promises to bail us out

Further into debt with this next bill

Lord, I can see us slipping over the hill

There's better times coming in the end you can bet

There's better times a-coming, but they ain't here yet

Don't worry my friend, oh, don't you fret

There's better times a-coming in the end you can bet

(Music)

So I picked my bible and I read the book of John

And I saw the best news in I don't know how long

Jesus said He's a-coming to receive His own

And you better be ready if you want to be goin'

There's better times coming in the end you can bet

There's better times a-coming, but they ain't here yet

Don't worry my friend, oh, don't you fret

There's better times a-coming in the end you can bet

There's better times a-coming, there's better times a-coming

There's better times a-coming in the end you can bet

(Music)
