Better Life Lyrics

Friday night and the moon is high
I'm wide awake just watchin' you sleep, oh oh
And I promise you you're gonna have
More than just the things that you need
We ain't got much now, we're just starting out
But I know somehow paradise is coming

Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine on
Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on, we're headed for a better life, mmhm-hm

Oh, now there's a place for you and me
Where we can dream as big as the sky, hey hey
I know it's hard to see it now
But, baby, someday you're gonna fly
This road we're on, you know it might be long
But my faith is strong
It's all that really matters

Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine on
Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on, we're headed for a better life, oh oh oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh oh, yeah yeah

So hold on, hold on
C'mon, baby, hold on
Yeah, we're gonna have it all, and ooh-ooh-ooh

Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine (yes, it is)
Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on, just hold on

Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine (shine on down)
Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on, we're headed for a better life
Ooh, better life now, oh oh

A better life, oh oh oh, ooh ooh
Hey, we're gonna leave this all behind us, baby, wait and see
We're headed for a better life, you and me
We're gonna break the chains that bind and finally we'll be free
We're gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me, ooh ooh ooh
Just hold on tight now, baby, woo (oh oh oh)
