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
I don't want to move away
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?
