Lyrics

Better Man

From Coming Home (Deluxe)2015

Written by Austin Jenkins

Lyrics

Better Man

I don't want much I just wanna be a better man To my baby, mm-mmh Meet me off good luck I was singing with them Jezebels Under perfume sheets, mm-mmh Got a golden smile, heart overflowing But got us in love, but it wasn't enough What can I do? What can I do? To get back to your heart I'd swim the Mississippi river If you would give me another start, girl All night long, I was out Out 'til the morning But baby you're tender Lost when I'm longing Baby please, I'm down on my knees begging I thirst for you girl Baby, I'm running to your well What can I do? What can I do? To get back to your heart I'd swim the Mississippi river If you would give me another start, girl What can I do? What can I do? To get back to your heart I'd swim the Mississippi river What can I do? What can I do? To get back to your heart I'd swim the Mississippi river If you would give me another start, girl
