Joe Bonamassa & George Benson Lyrics

"There Must Be A Better World Somewhere"
(originally by B.B. King)

Sometimes I wonder just what I'm fighting for
I win some battles, but I always lose the war
I keep right on stumblin' in this no man's land out here
But I know, oh, yes, I know
There must be a better world somewhere

Flying high, some joker clips my wings
Just because he gets a kick out of doing those kind of things
I keep on fallin' in space or just hangin' in mid-air
But I know, oh, yes, I know
There's just gotta be a better world somewhere

Every woman I want only wants herself
Everybody I love seems to love somebody else
And every woman got a license to break my heart
And every love affair is over before it gets a chance to start

If it ain't here, maybe in the year after
Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter
But meanwhile, I'm stuck out here, it just ain't fair
But I know, oh, yeah, I know
There must be a better world somewhere

Every woman I want only wants herself
Everybody I love seems to love somebody else
And every woman got a license to break my heart
And every love affair is over, over before it gets a chance to start

Oh, if it ain't here, maybe in the year after
Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter
Meanwhile, I'm stuck out here, it just ain't fair
But I know, I said I know, oh yeah
There must be a better world, oh yeah
There's just gotta be, gotta be a better world somewhere
Oh yeah
