Better Days

Some days I drift back to smoother times when we used to scurry through the streets with a clearer mind we had no worries See our elders showed us a better way it was no killing, we used to box so we could laugh and talk about the yesterday while pitching rocks On the tracks on the way to the Plunge and my uncle used to school us on game I soaked it up like a sponge And for fun I watched the tube with my moms old bird she gave me that grandma love and used to bless me with them old words My granny was so dear to me and specials how I felt when she broke out the cornstarch sticks and we ate them watchin' Lawrence Welk I grew up feelin' like an only child and through my tears and smiles my moms and granny were my true pals They held me down when life done me bad some days sad some glad it wasn't a combination tighter than the one we had I look back on those fun days I see my granny and moms in my daughters eyes and I know that one day We will all be together we have a connection that nothin' can sever It's one love forever
