jacksonport – a better man lyrics
sitting here at “jerry’s”
a shot glass in my hand
when an old pal comes and leans on my shoulder
he says “now there, johnny
there’s nothing you can do
and there’s no use sitting ’round growin’ older.”
so we step outside
me myself and i
and start walking down to the shore
when i find a seat there’s a red rose at my feet
and i look out on a town that i adore
you had your reasons
you had to go
you had your heart to consider
on the unpaved road
you had your prospects
you had your plans
you had your reasons, honey
go find a better man, if you can
sometimes whеn i’m driving
i think on back to you
some old memory comes and hits me like a boulder
i pull over the car and head to the nearest bar
a bourbon neat and whichever beer is colder
just one for me, and one for you
then i’m back to working with the crew
i’m still searching for the person
that can look me in the eyes, real certain
know me for who i am and why i do
you had your reasons
you had to go
you had your heart to consider
on the unpaved road
you had your prospects
you had your plans
you had your reasons, honey
go find a better man, if you can
go find a better man, if you can
