"Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)" lyrics

Love was a game I played dealer's choice
In the back of a bar all summer
Forgetting 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 waiting

I didn't know you'd have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus spending Friday nights at home
Didn't know you'd be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine lovin with a heart of gold

You're everything that I'm not, everything that I want
There's a God n' baby you're proof
In those those brown eyes, I know that I got to find
A better me for you

Made a living dipping toes in the water
Feelin low with my walls up high
I was staying 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

I didn't know you'd have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus spending Friday nights at home
Didn't know you'd be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine lovin with a heart of gold

You're everything that I'm not, everything that I want
There's a God n' baby you're proof
In those those brown eyes, I know that I got to find
A better me for you

Don't worry about 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 til the end of time
And

I never knew you'd have brown eyes
Liked to pray to Jesus spendin Friday nights at home
Never knew you'd be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine lovin with heart of gold

You're everything that I'm not, everything that I want
There's a God n' baby you're proof
In those those brown eyes, I know that I got to find
A better me for you
A better me for you
Oh I got to find
I want to find
A better me for you
A better me for you
