Lyrics Better Than Me - Riley Green, Randy Owen

Better Than Me

This world on fire
It 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
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
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 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
And 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
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
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
