Better Man

[Verse 1]
When you're out there driving and you get that feeling
And you don’t know what it is, but it feels uneasy
Even though you know things are fine right now
And they've been that way for a time right now

[Verse 2]
But maybe that's the problem, you’re ready for a change
Wanna move things forward, but you don't know what it takes
So you keep on driving
Hoping it'll go away

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better man, a better man
A better man than I been
Be a better man
A better man and that's all

[Verse 3]
So I pull in my driveway and I'm sweating like hell
It's funny, things have been bad, I’m finally doing well
But I’ve got a taste of the stable life
And I ain't making quite enough to live it right

[Verse 4]
So I dream up schemes to get my money right
To be the man I wanna be for my kids and my wife
And if I don’t make it
I hope they see that I tried

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better man, a better man
A better man than I been
Be a better man
A better man and that's all

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Maybe I’ll start at home, make sure I'm sharing the load
Clean when I can and keep the grass mowed
No jeans in the bed if I been wearing 'em all night
And be patient and loving when I don't feel alright

[Verse 6]
Remember to look my wife in the eyes
And tell her that I love her at the end of the night
Spend my money on others
And start puttin' a little aside

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better man, a better man
A better man than I been
Be a better man
A better man and that's all
Yeah, I'm just trying to be a better man, a better man
A better man than I been
Be a better man
A better man and that's all
