The Better Man歌詞

[00:12.395]Why has time been given to us?
[00:18.311]To say things we don't understand
[00:24.233]Words like daggers stab our heart,boys
[00:30.53]Gotta be the better man
[00:35.975]People they can break your heart,boys
[00:41.845]Like no ragged coyote can
[00:47.563]Guns and songs,they can not save us,
[00:53.531]Gotta be the better man
[00:59.393]A man can earn his share of peace,Hoss
[01:05.209]or sleep out on the burning sand
[01:11.159]Stand and rise above the rest of us
[01:17.126]and leave behind the drag-down man
[01:23.95]Gotta let it roll right off you
[01:29.79]let it fall into the dust
[01:34.953]Grace is raining down upon us
[01:40.876]You got to be the better man
[01:46.691]People they can break your heart,boys
[01:52.816]Like no coyote ever can
[01:58.632]Guns and songs,they can not save us,
[02:04.542]Gotta be the better man
[02:10.612]Why has time been given to us?
[02:16.277]To say things we don't understand
[02:22.288]Words like daggers stab our heart,boys
[02:28.153]Gotta be the better man
[02:34.65]People they can break your heart,boys
[02:39.983]Like no ragged coyote can
[02:45.854]Guns and songs,they can not save us,
[02:51.822]Gotta be the better man
[02:58.383]The world sure can be a ugly place,can't it?
[03:01.923]All day long people lookin'to tear you down
[03:05.707]Hit you while you're hurting
[03:07.771]Grind your good name and your record breaking accomplishments right into the dirt.
[03:13.795]You'd be surprised at where it comes from too,
[03:17.149]Maybe even from a friend
[03:20.79]or someone you thought could be some day a friend
[03:23.266]if not for their own weird hang ups
[03:26.609]It's hard.
[03:28.615]But when those coyotes are gnashing at your back side
[03:32.652]When you feel those dirty yellow teeth sinking in
[03:36.349]Don't you lay down,Hoss
[03:39.550]You stand tall,and shine
[03:41.626]like the beacon of hope and forgiveness that you are
[03:45.319]You gotta work to be the one who's better than
[03:50.430]You gotta be the better man.
