By and By

Waking up, rolling out
Making a living that I'm paying for now
But you ain't gonna find me crying, baby
Work the hours to make you proud
It's never easy, even when you know how
You won't find a road we ain't walked lately

Well, the thrills don't cost any money
And the pain don't come back around
Oh, the choir gets tired of preaching to the choir
We can finally hear that sound

Sit tight
I know it's heavy while we're on this side
But you and I will find that by and by
Hang on
One day the sadness will be good as gone
When you and I arrive in the by and by

City lights (city lights), edge of town (edge of town)
Twenty years to build it just to watch it burn down
But hopeless ain't a phrase you'll hear me saying

Well, the thrills don't cost any money
And the pain don't come back around
Oh, the choir gets tired of preaching to the choir
We finally hear that sound
Finally hear that sound

Sit tight
I know it's heavy while we're on this side
But you and I will find that by and by
Hang on
One day the sadness will be good as gone
When you and I arrive in the by and by

I can hardly wait, it's been so long
No hesitation, I'll be headed home
I can hardly wait, it's been so long
No hesitation, I'll be headed home

Sit tight
I know it's heavy while we're on this side
But you and I will find that by and by
Hang on
One day the sadness will be good as gone
When you and I arrive in the by and by
When you and I arrive in the by and by
