Kyle Moning - Better Days Lyrics

The factories are relics from another time
Their bodies overshadow and carve coastlines
There used to be workers but they've all gone home
The furnace shut down years ago

The view from the skyway hasn't changed in years
Flames melt the sky, the clouds they sear
They built a new highway to skip downtown
And they wonder how the stores are doing now

Let's go down, the old steel town
Turning back the years
Better days are still ahead
But also behind

King and Main don't move much now
The hookers have gone North and the hipsters South
The homeless pay for other's sins
And a winter cold as steel is moving in

Let's go down, the old steel town
Turning back the years
Better days are still ahead
But also behind

Let's go down, the old steel town
Turning back the years
Better days are still ahead

And if you see me looking south of here
Don't pass your judgment blind
There may be fire in my heart
But there's steel in my eyes
