Be The Better Man Lyrics - Singles - Jeff Bridges

Why has time been given to us? 

To say things we don't understand 

 

Words like daggers stab our heart, boys 

Gotta be the better man 

 

People they can break your heart, boys 

Like no ragged coyote can 

 

Guns and songs, they can not save us, 

Gotta be the better man 

 

A man can earn his share of peace, Hoss 

or sleep out on the burning sand 

 

Stand and rise above the rest of us 

and leave behind the drag-down man 

 

Gotta let it roll right off you 

let it fall into the dust 

 

Grace is raining down upon us 

You got to be the better man 

 

People they can break your heart, boys 

Like no coyote ever can 

 

Guns and songs, they can not save us, 

Gotta be the better man 

 

Why has time been given to us? 

To say things we don't understand 

 

Words like daggers stab our heart, boys 

Gotta be the better man 

 

People they can break your heart, boys 

Like no ragged coyote can 

 

Guns and songs, they can not save us, 

Gotta be the better man 

 

The world sure can be a ugly place, can't it? 

All day long people lookin' to tear you down 

Hit you while you're hurting 

Grind your good name and your record breaking accomplishments right into the dirt. 

 

You'd be surprised at where it comes from too, 

Maybe even from a friend 

or someone you thought could be some day a friend 

if not for their own weird hang ups 

 

It's hard. 

But when those coyotes are gnashing at your back side 

When you feel those dirty yellow teeth sinking in 

Don't you lay down, Hoss 

You stand tall, and shine 

like the beacon of hope and forgiveness that you are 

 

You gotta work to be the one who's better than 

You gotta be the better man. 

Are you remember?
