Better Than Myself

Well, I was told not long ago

That my songs are better than myself

Someone told me not long ago

That my songs are better than myself

That the reckless way I'm living, it don't match my melodies

That the written words I'm singing, they ain't got no honesty

It's all candy from a jukebox that's burning down in hell

They said my songs are better than myself

Well, I was told not long ago

That my songs are better than myself

'Cause if a song comes from the heart

Then my heart must be stronger than my health

But I'll stay up till the sunrise, just looking for a rhyme

And I like getting drunk until it's just about showtime

Some nights up on this stage, I'm a hard act to sell

Thank God my songs are better than myself

Truth be told in every note I play

Truth be told, I don't care what you say

Well, I was told not long ago

That my songs are better than myself

So if you're still listening right now

I'd say this song is doing pretty well

You might hear it from a jukebox that's burning down in Hell

Well, my songs are better than myself

Yeah, all my songs are better than myself
