Bright Side

How many times can a man's heart be broken?

Before it all cracks and turns to dust

How many days must the rain keep on falling?

Before his whole world starts to rust

Well, that woman she dragged me deep underground

But the world is still turning

And the sun’s shining down

I'm just doing the best that I can

Here on the bright side

I ain’t gonna live in the shadows forever

Buried alive and left for dead

Just cause a wicked and evil woman

She moved in, yes, she did, and messed up my head

There’s a lesson I learned when she told me goodbye

Get off of your backside, don’t you lay down and die

Instead of counting the tears that you cried

Take a walk on the bright side

(Gotta look on the bright side)

Let the darkness pass

(Look on the bright side)

She took all the water and left you a glass

(Gotta look on the bright side)

She cleaned out your strongbox and left you some ones

(Look on the bright side)

Took all the sweet rolls

And left you the crumbs

Well, that woman she dragged me deep underground

But the world is still turning

And the sun’s beating down

I'm just doing the best that I can

Out here on the bright side

(Gotta look on the bright side)

Let the darkness pass

(Look on the bright side)

Took all of the water and left me a glass

(Gotta look on the bright side)

Cleaned out my strongbox, but I still got some ones

(Look on the bright side)

Took all of the sweet rolls

And left me the crumbs

Well, that woman she dragged me deep underground

But the world is still turning

And the sun’s beating down

I'm just doing the best that I can

Sometimes the world just don't understand

I'm just doing the best that I can

Oh, Lord, out here on the bright side

Right here, right here on the bright side
