Better Than My Heart

[Verse 1]

I'm feeling kind of banged up

Slow out of the bed

Neon noise and honkey-tonk wine ringing in my head

Last night I saw your car

I overheard your name

Pulled my hat down low, wouldn't want you to know I was in this shape

[Chorus]

Now these old beer bones

Are like a rusty old plow

These cigarettes eyes are

'Bout to burn out

But they're still doing better

Better than my heart

These whiskey worn lips can't muster up a smile

The soles on my boots have walked their last mile

But they're still doing better

Better than my heart

[Verse 2]

You filled it with your love

Then you drained it out

Sometimes I think you built it up

Just to break it down

Now all that's really left

Is an emptiness inside

A river running cold, memories growing old

Dying right there on the vine

[Chorus]

Now these old beer bones

Are like a rusty old plow

These cigarettes eyes are

'Bout to burn out

But they're still doing better

Better than my heart

These whiskey worn lips can't muster up a smile

The soles on my boots have walked their last mile

But they're still doing better

Better than my heart

Now these old beer bones

Are like a rusty old plow

These cigarettes eyes are

'Bout to burn out

But they're still doing better

Better than my heart

These whiskey worn lips can't muster up a smile

The soles on my boots have walked their last mile

But they're still doing better

Better than my heart

[Outro]

Yeah, they're still doing better

Better than my heart

Better than my heart
