“Brighter Days” JJ Grey & Mofro live at the Agora Theater, Cleveland, Ohio, 3/29/2024

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, mm-mh 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, yeah Brighter days, where did they go Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see Brighter days, where did they go Brighter days, where did they go Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see Brighter days, yeah 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, yeah Brighter days where did they go? Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see Brighter days, where did they go, yeah Brighter days, where did they go Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see Brighter days, where did they go? Boy, you're 'bout to hit the bottom Brighter days where did they go? Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Lord I'll never see Brighter days, where did they go Boy, you're 'bout to hit the bottom Brighter days, where did they go Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, go-oh-oh-ohhh Brighter days, hit the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom I feel alone, I feel I'm movin' there To a land you never saw, and I see you bout' to hit the bottom Lord help me move away to a land you never saw and I see Brighter days, where did they go? Da-da-da-da-da-da, Lord have mercy Brighter days, where did they go? Brighter days, where did they go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go?
