Better Man

(Ok)
(Check this out)
I remember when my daddy had taken me by the head
He said: This life is hard, get ahead while you can
And boy, that man's eye ain't no easy way around
Make too many wrong steps and it's a long way down

Keep climbing but remember not matter what you believe
If you're searching for an answer try falling onto your knees
There'll be difficult decisions the kind we all have to make
I was standing in your shoes when I first heard my father say

Son let me tell you what I know
I've seen that glory just come and go
Every fallen angel comes back, though
But some come a little too late

Man, that kind of life is a highway
You gotta be careful what exit you take
Got a lot of miles to cover with just one tank
Maybe it's time to hit the brakes
An be a better man
Don't you wanna be a better man?
(Yeah)

Time went on and I got older found my way to make my life
I can tell you it all changed on the day that I met my wife
Made a choice to live it better, wanna be here for my kids
Wanna raise them up with values, man, just like my parents did

I'ma teach them no ones perfect you sleep in the bed you make
And that truth is in the eyes not in them hands that you shake
Sometimes this life ain't fair and it doesn't follow your plan
But just remember who's upstairs he's reaching down for your hand

Son let me tell you what I know
I've seen that glory just come and go
Every fallen angel comes back though
But some come a little too late

Man, that kind of life is a highway
You gotta be careful what exit you take
Got a lot of miles to cover with just one tank
Maybe it's time to hit the brakes
An be a better man
Don't you wanna be a better man?
(Yeah)
(Yeah, you all listen up)

When it's time to meet my maker want to make it through them gates
Want to reunite with family
Yeah man I can barely wait
I'ma tell them that I love them
Took a while to understand
But it was coming home to them that made me be a better man
(Better man)

(Better man)
