There Must Be a Better Way To Live

I've had three jobs this year and that's a record for my kind

It seems like when they lay man off I'm always at ahead of the line

But that's alright I got a woman that'll stand by me

And there's lots of places we ain't seen

And there's always a job waitin' somewhere for me

But late at night that's when it hurts

As I hold her and tried to explain why I lost my last job

But she always comforts me with her kisses and say it's alright

You know I still love you Bob

Then she says honey I know you've tried so hard and you're givin' all you can give

But in my heart I know there's gotta be a better way to live

And why she stood by me in these past years God only knows

Cause there's been times when we hadn't had enough to eat

And too many nights I've felt her shiver with cold

But I've never heard she complain cause she knows I'm too proud to beg

And people had offered help but I can't take no charity

I've always stood on my own two legs

Well I'm a loser son of a gun why does this have to be

I want so to give her everything that she could ever need

But that's alright I got a woman that'll stand by me

And there's lots of places we ain't seen

And there's always a job waitin' somewhere for me

Now we've made it all right together I guess but so far our road's been all up hill

But every night oh Lord we pray please help us find a better way to live

And we know he will
