A Better Place Lyrics - Corey Smith

Tasha's got a room at the county shelter 

The cops took her there when her mama got hauled away 

Little brother and her can't even stay together 

She cries each night wondering why it's gotta be this way 

And she says "I wish I was anyone but me" 

Yeah she'd pack her life in a heartbeat for a little change of scenery 

And she keeps looking for a better place 

Somewhere she can wear a smile upon her face 

A home to welcome with a warm embrace 

There's no way to disguise her lonely eyes 

Looking for a better place

Bobby's doing time in youth detention 

Pulled a switch blade knife on some boy making fun at school 

And all he wanted was a little attention 

And a temporary escape from the ridicule 

And now he's in real deep with the freaks and the criminals 

And he wonders when his time is up if he'll know himself at all 

And he keeps dreaming of a better place 

Somewhere he can have a little room to make mistakes 

A home to help him wash the past away 

Oh he don't need too much, just a little love 

In a better place 

In a better place 

Jamie's got a room in a 3-story brick home 

Daddy makes a lotta money, mama keeps her laundry clean 

And she's got a $200 Abercrombie outfit on 

Drives a brand new car that she got when she turned 16 

Still she spends every night getting high with her so-called friends 

And she's dropping hundred dollar bills on quarterbags, says she's never coming down again

And she keeps looking for a better place 

Failing to realize how good she's got it made 

Her loving home, she don't appreciate 

Oh it's crazy but it's true, she doesn't have a clue 

She's living in a better place 

In a better place 

In a better place 

We're all lookin for a better place
