I wish I was a better man
The kind that don't get out of hand
Don't say things he'll soon regret
I wish I was a better man
I wish I went to church on Sunday
Cus that'd mean I believed in something
Wish I held my head up high
Instead I hang it low and cry
Instead I hang it low and
Cry, I cry
When I was just a little boy
I learned this world it ain't a toy
Its full of folks they'll do you wrong
There ain't no such place as home
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I never seem to rise above
I'm hard to love and understand
But I try to be a better man
And I'd throw this all away
Just to have another day
To be the man I ain't
And the kind of dad I can't
And I'd throw this all away
Just to have another day
To be the man I ain't
And the kind of dad I can't
I wish I was a better man
The kind that don't get out of hand
Don't say things he'll soon regret
I wish I was a better man
I wish I was a better man
