Riley Green
Better Than Me
[Verse 1: Riley Green]
This world on fire
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

[Chorus: Riley Green]
'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
I found the right in all this wrong and I finally see
The good Lord knows better than me

[Verse 2: Riley Green]
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 a little more me
I feel a little more free
[Chorus: Riley Green]
'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
I found the right in all this wrong and I finally see
The good Lord knows better than me
Knows better than me

[Verse 3: Randy Owen]
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

[Chorus: Randy Owen, Riley Green, Randy Owen & Riley Green]
'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
[Outro: Randy Owen]
Better than me
So much better than me
