Love was a game, I played dealer's choice
In the back of a bar all summer
Forgettin' 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, waitin'

I didn't know you'd have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus, spendin' 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

Made a livin' dippin' toes in the water
Feelin' low with my walls up high
I was stayin' 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

I didn't know you'd have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus, spendin' 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

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
A better me for you
Whoa-oh-oh

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 till the end of time and

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

Yeah
A better me for you
Oh-oh-oh-oh
A better me for you
A better me for you
