Beat You There

I don't know why God always takes the good ones first And man, I've tried To be strong and carry on, but damn this hurts And I just wish that I could talk to you Again somehow, someway Even if it's for a moment So I can hear you say Don't cry for me, I'm alright I'm better than you know And this life can be a short ride So don't waste in on sorrow And just hold on to those moments And the memories we shared We're both headed for the same place anyway I just beat you there I know they say "Just give it a little time, you'll be okay" That might be true But it don't really help me today And we ain't supposed to question The man upstairs There's just so much I don't understand It just don't seem fair Don't cry for me, I'm alright I'm better than you know And this life can be a short ride So don't waste it on sorrow And just hold on those moments And the memories we shared We're both headed for the same place anyway I just beat you there And as each day goes by I get a little bit stronger But that don't stop me from wishing you We're here a little bit longer So I'm gonna smile when I think of you Like I know you'd want me to And I know you're watching over me In everything I do And all those things I never got to say Well, I'll send 'em with this prayer Then look up, wipe my tears and raise my beer And I'll see you there And I'll see you there
