Be A Better Man
Verse:
Riding in the back forty,
With a Henry in his saddle,
My dad and me, came up on,
Some horses and the cattle.
One of the mares broke her leg,
She was laying on the ground.
My daddy took out his rifle,
And put that poor thing down.
Then he said…
Pre-Chorus:
Let me tell you about a garden,
About a man and his wife.
Back a long time ago,
When they lived a perfect life.
Then one day, they broke the rules,
Why, Heaven only knows,
Now this life has loss and pain,
And suffering I suppose.
Chorus
So, when you see people hurting,
Do all that you can,
Cause it makes a world of difference,
In the Father’s plan.
Be a beacon in the darkness,
For all of those in need.
Do everything you can in life,
To be a better man.
Verse:
One day son, you’ll have a boy,
Who will look up to you.
He won’t just listen to your words,
But he’ll watch what you do.
So don’t just tell him lofty words,
Let him see with his own eyes,
How a good man, can be a better man,
And change other people’s lives.
Pre-Chorus:
Let me tell you about a garden,
About a man and his wife.
Back a long time ago,
When they lived a perfect life.
Then one day, they broke the rules,
Why, Heaven only knows,
Now this life has loss and pain,
And suffering I suppose.
Chorus
So, when you see people hurting,
Do all that you can,
Cause it makes a world of difference,
In the Father’s plan.
Be a beacon in the darkness,
For all of those in need.
Do everything you can in life,
To be a better man.
Bridge:
I still cherish all the times,
I went riding with my dad.
Even when he had to shoot that horse,
And how it made me sad.
He’s been gone to meet the Lord,
He’s in his arms today.
I remember all the stories,
I can still hear my daddy say…
Pre-Chorus:
Let me tell you about a garden,
About a man and his wife.
Back a long time ago,
When they lived a perfect life.
Then one day, they broke the rules,
Why, Heaven only knows,
Now this life has loss and pain,
And suffering I suppose.
Chorus
So, when you see people hurting,
Do all that you can,
Cause it makes a world of difference,
In the Father’s plan.
Be a beacon in the darkness,
For all of those in need.
Do everything you can in life,
To be a better man.
