Lyrics JJ Grey & Mofro – 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

You 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

Brighter days where did they go?

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

Brighter days where did they go?

Boy, you’re about to hit the bottom
I feel alone, I feel I’m moving there
To a land you never saw and I see you’re about to hit the bottom
Lord help me move away to a land you never saw
And I’ve seen

Brighter days where did they go?
