Better Man

[Verse 1]
Now it all keeps coming back to me
At the house by the river
And the sweet, sweet summer breeze
And, oh, I'm right back there now

[Verse 2]
And mama's in the kitchen
And daddy's in his favorite chair
And I'm down the hallway, with my brother
And we're laughing without a care

[Pre-Chorus]
If I knew then, what I know now
I'd be a better man?

[Chorus]
I'd be a better man
If I had listened to what they said?
But I walk the lonely road that leads to nowhere
But sometimes, you gotta leave to come back
To be a better man, oh, yeah!

[Verse 3]
Now it all keeps coming back to me
Sitting down by the fire
And the cold, cold winter nights
And, oh, I'm right back there now

[Verse 4]
And mama tucked us into bed
And daddy read us the Bible
And, oh, how they prayed for us
So much love, can't forget their smiles

[Pre-Chorus]
If I knew then, what I know now
I'd be a better man? Oh, yeah!

[Chorus]
I'd be a better man, if I could do it all again?
I can't change the past
I gotta a broken heart to mend
But sometimes, you gotta leave to come back
To be a better man, oh, yeah!

[Bridge]
I hear the echo of your voice
Asking you it see
You'll never be alone
If you truly believe

[Chorus]
I'd be a better man, if I could do it all again?
I can't change the past
I gotta a broken heart to mend
But sometimes, you gotta leave to come back
To be a better man, oh, yeah!

[Post-Chorus]
If I knew then, what I know now
I'd be a better man?
Oh, yeah! (Better man)
Oh, yeah! (Better man)

[Outro]
Oh, yeah!
