Here is Gold Standard’s submission for the songwriting contest! This is our song “Better Than These Days”.

Lyrics:
I don’t want you to watch me disappear
I don’t want you to feel like you’re the only one left here
I don’t want loving me to make you sad and blue
But I guess I don’t make it easy throwing a fit down at the Kwik Trip

I just know I got friends
Carried me up that hill and right back down again
When the blues has got you feeling all sort of ways
You’re better than these days
You’re better than these days

I can’t always be the way you want
No one helping me and there doesn’t seem to be a plan
Just trying to write songs that ain’t so sad and blue
But this guitar knows me better than I do

I just know I got friends
Carried me up that hill and right back down again
When the blues has got you feeling all sort of ways
You’re better than these days
You’re better than these days

I just know I got friends
Carried me up that hill and right back down again
When the blues has got you feeling all sort of ways
You’re better than these days
You’re better than these days
