"Better Life" Lyrics

(Keith Urban/Richard Marx)

Friday night and the moon is high
I'm wide awake just watching you sleep
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 comin'.

Chorus:
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine (awww, yes it is, shine on down)
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on (just a-hold on)
(We're headed for a better life.)

Oh, now there's a place for you and me
Where we can dream as big as the sky
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 belong
But our faith is strong
It's all that really matters.

Chorus:
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine (awww, yes it is, shine on down)
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on (just a-hold on)
(We're headed for a better life.)

--- Instrumental ---

So hold on, hold on
Come mon baby, hold on
Yeah, we're gonna have it all
And ooh.

Chorus:
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine (awww, yes it is, shine on down)
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on (just a-hold on)
So hold on.

Chorus:
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine (awww, yes it is, shine on down)
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on (just a-hold on)
(We're headed for a better life.)

Oh, a better life, now, oh oh
A better life, 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 find we'll be free
We're gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me, ooh, ooh, hoo.

Just a-hold on tight now baby, whoo...
