Better




I met his mom in a country bar,

Lied about my name,

Took me home 'cause I wrote a poem,

'Bout a love I couldn't tame.


Outside she said, "I got a boy at home,

He should be fast asleep,"

The door came free, and her mini-me,

Knocked us in a heap.


Better than I'll ever be,

Love came in and set me free,

Together we're a family,

Better than I'll ever be.


Then and there he was my own,

If ever I would have one,

To never end, forever friends,

She gave to me a new son.


She and I a sorry match,

Our love became a bother,

Went too fast, it couldn't last,

Yet always stayed his father.


Better than I'll ever be,

Love came and set us free,

Together we're a family,

Better than I'll ever be.


We fight fair, and our love is rare,

His name is mine forever,

Father yet well traveled,

In a bond we never sever.


They fight fair, and he loves her hair,

His life shines in her eyes,

Together care, two stand a pair,

For a love that never dies.


Better than I'll ever be,

Love come and set us free,

Together we're a family,

Better than I'll ever be.


We may not all have started right,

But love has made us see the light,

Now we're holding good and tight,

Better than I'll ever be.


Better than I'll ever be,

Love came and set us free,

Together we're a family,

Better than I'll ever be.


Better than I'll ever be,

We've got a love that's plain to see,

Forever we'll be family,

Better than I'll ever be.
