Matt Ward - Better Man Lyrics

I can smell it in the air
The diesel and the prairie fair
The ribbon and the golden twine
Long hot nights trying to walk the line
And satisfaction I can never find

And the winters never seemed to come
And the rivers never seemed to run
The summers never seem to end
My wounds would never mend
And I said I would never come again

I've been looking around for some kind of inspiration
I've been looking to try to be a better man
But no matter how hard I search for answers
I'll be dying before you take me off my land
And I am trying just to be a better man

And the winding road might pave the way
But my crumbling home might give away
Maybe I should turn around
Abdicate give you the crown
And leave this godforsaken town

I've been looking around for some kind of inspiration
And I've been looking to try to be a better man
But no matter how hard I search for answers
I'll be dying before you take me off my land
And I'm am trying just to be a better man

I've been looking around for some kind of inspiration
And I've been looking to try to be a better man
But no matter how hard I search for answers
I'll be dying before you take me off my land
And I'll be dying before you take me
I'll be dying before you shake me
I'll be dying before you break me
I'll be dying before you make me
I'm trying just to be better man
And I'll be dying before you take me off my land
