Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)

Love was a game, I played dealer's choice

In the back of a bar all summer

Forgettin' names like background noise

In relationships I wanted none of

Went off the rails by fall

Lord knows I needed savin'

Wore off the alcohol

And you were there like an angel waitin'

I didn't know you'd have brown eyes

Like to pray to Jesus, spendin' Friday nights at home

Didn't know you'd be the strong kind

Deeper than a coal mine, lovin' with a heart of gold

And you're everything that I'm not, everythin' that I want

There's a God n' baby, you're proof

In those brown eyes, I know that I got to find

A better me for you

Made a livin' dippin' toes in the water

Feelin' low with my walls up high

I was stayin' far away from the deep end

Girl like you made a boy like me try

Went off the rails that fall

Lord knows I needed savin'

Made me forget them all

And I didn't know you'd have brown eyes

Like to pray to Jesus, spendin' Friday nights at home

Didn't know you'd be the strong kind

Deeper than a coal mine, lovin' with a heart of gold

And you're everything that I'm not, everythin' that I want

There's a God n' baby, you're proof

In those brown eyes, I know that I got to find

A better me for you

Oh

A better me for you, oh-oh-oh

Don't worry 'bout the miles that it takes, we can make

Every one of them worth all the drivin'

I'll sing your praises every way like the hymnals all say

I could love you till the end of time and

I never knew you'd have brown eyes

Like to pray to Jesus, spend your Friday nights at home

Never knew you'd be the strong kind

Deeper than a coal mine, lovin' with a heart of gold

And you're everything that I'm not, everythin' that I want

There's a God n' baby, you're proof

In those brown eyes, I know that I got to find

A better me for you

Hey, a better me for you

Oh-oh-oh a better me for you

A better me for you
