Better Than Me Songtext
von Riley Green

Is the world on fire?
Feels like a bad dream
Did the hammer come down?
Feels like a kick in the teeth
All this down on my luck
Has been gettin′ me down on my knees
Might have been something I need

'Cause I been chasin, rat racin′
Doin' anything to win
Now my grass looks like Augusta
I got around to paintin' that fence
I 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
Findin' right in all this wrong, and I finally see
The good Lord knows better than me


I got a little less in the bank
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 little more me
I feel a little more free

'Cause I been chasin, rat racin'
Doin′ anything to win
Now my grass looks like Augusta
And I got around to paintin′ that fence
I 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
Findin' 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
But if He takes His time
Well I′ve learned one thing
The good Lord knows better than me


'Cause I been chasin, rat racin′
Doin' anything to win
I′ve made more time for fishin'
And got my old truck runnin′ again
I went home to see my mama, been good hearing from old friends
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
Good Lord knows better than me
