Better Man

I got whiskey on my breath

I smoke a funny cigarette

It's a lazy Sunday dawn

And my baby, she is gone

She couldn't stand the fact

That I'm lonesome and sad

It's always been that way

No wonder, she didn't stay

I wish I was a better man

But I am who I am

And I swear I try to change my way

Cause I'm full of regrets

And many old threats

Yeah, I'll be better someday

Yeah, I'll be a better man

When I change my way

So, when I got sober

I thought the worst would be over

But got busy Monday night

And nothing went right

Guess the only thing I'm good in

Is failure and losin'

I try to keep us together

But again, didn't dare to tell her

I wish I was a better man

But I am who I am

And I swear I try to change my way

Cause I'm full of regrets

And many old threats

Yeah, I'll be better someday

Yeah, I'll be a better man

When I change my way

Another Saturday night, I stagger along the creek

And I swear to myself again, I'll change next week

Yeah, someday I'll get it straight, change my life for better

Yes someday, somehow and then forever

I wish I was a better man

But I am who I am

And I swear I try to change my way

Cause I'm full of regrets

And many old threats

Yeah, I'll be better someday

Yeah, I'll be a better man

When I change my way

Yeah, I'll be a better man

When I change my way

Yeah, I'll be a better man
