Better Than Me (feat. Randy Owen)

This world on fire

Feels like a bad dream

Did the hammer come down?

It feels like a kick in the teeth

All this down on my luck

Has been gettin' me down on my knees

It might have been something I need

'Cause I've been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win

Now, my grass looks like Augusta

I got around to paintin' that fence

I've been callin' up my mama, doin' some old friend checkin' in

And it seems like where I'm going

Might be better than where I been

'Cause with all this goin' on

I found the right in all this wrong, and I finally see

The good Lord knows better than me

I got a little less in the bank

But I get a little more sleep

I get a little more use

Out of that old porch swing

I got a little more her

Holdin' on to a little more me

I feel a little more free

'Cause I've been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win

Now, my grass looks like Augusta

I got around to paintin' that fence

I've been callin' up my mama, doin' some old friend checkin' in

And it seems like where I'm going

Might be better than where I been

'Cause with all this goin' on

I found the right in all this wrong, and I finally see

The good Lord knows better than me

Knows better than me

If the world does end

I'll take the last day slow

And if He does come back

I know where I'll go

And if He takes His time

Well, I've learned one thing

The good Lord knows better than me

'Cause I've been chasin, rat racin'

Doin' anything to win

I've made more time for fishin'

I got my old truck runnin' again

I went home to see my mama, been good hearing from old friends

And it seems like where I'm going

Might be better than where I been

'Cause with all this goin' on

I found the writin' on the wall and I finally see

The good Lord knows better than me

Better than me

So much better than me
