BETTER MAN IN ME
I’m trying hard to do you right
But I’m a fool come Friday night
I like my whiskey and my friends
You’d like all that to end
My shirt is checkered like my past
Folks say we’ll never last
Your mama said, “I told you so”
There’s something she don’t know
(Pre-Chorus)
There’s a better man inside me
Just a’waitin’ to be unleashed
(Chorus)
Come and set ‘em free
The better man inside of me
Needs a bit a pushin and a whole lot of lovin
Like a country mule, he’s so dang stubborn
But you can bring him out
Girl don’t ever doubt
I need you and I love you and I really wanna be
The better man in me
The better man in me
Sunday you drag me off to church
Preacher says, “don’t drink or curse”
Then ‘til Thursday I’m a saint
The weekend comes and then I ain’t
Saturday I say I’m done
Head is pounding like a drum
Don’t throw my clothes out on the lawn
Cuz girl you’ve known it all along
(words & music by SJ Adams and G Reynolds)
