[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. |
