MAX MCNOWN BETTER ME FOR YOU (BROWN EYES)

[Verse 1]

Love was a game

I played dealer's choice

In the back of a bar all summer

Forgetting names like background noise

In relationships I wanted none of

Went off the rails by fall

Lord knows I needed savin'

Wore off the alcohol

And you were there like an angel waiting

 

 

 

[Chorus]

I didn't know you'd have brown eyes

Like to pray to Jesus

Spending Friday nights at home

Didn't know you'd be the strong kind

Deeper than a coal mine

Lovin' with a heart of gold

And you're everything that I'm not

Everything that I want

Thеre's a God and baby you're proof

In those brown еyes

I know that I gotta find a better me for you

 

[Verse 2]

Made a living dipping toes in the water

Feelin' low with my walls up high

I was staying far away from the deep end

Girl like you made a boy like me try

Went off the rails that fall

Lord knows I needed savin'

Made me forget them all

 

[Chorus]

And I didn't know you'd have brown eyes

Like to pray to Jesus

Spending Friday nights at home

Didn't know you'd be the strong kind

Deeper than a coal mine

Lovin' with a heart of gold

And you're everything that I'm not

Everything that I want

There's a God and baby you're proof

In those brown eyes

I know that I gotta find a better me for you

 

[Post-Chorus]

Whoa oh oh oh

A better me for you

Whoa ohhh ohhh

 

[Verse 3]

Don't worry 'bout the miles that it takes

We can make every one of them worth all the drivin'

I'll sing your praises every way

Like the hymnals all say

I could love you 'til the end of time and

 

[Chorus]

I never knew you'd have brown eyes

Liked to pray to Jesus

Spendin' Friday nights at home

Never knew you'd be the strong kind

Deeper than a coal mine

Lovin' with a heart of gold

And you're everything that I'm not

Everything that I want

There's a God and baby you're proof

In those brown eyes

I know that I gotta find a better me for you

 

[Outro]

Yeah-ah, a better me for you

Ohhhhh ohh ohhh

A better me for you

A better me for you
