Lyrics
Better Dude
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In an old whisky bar where the band plays guitar
I’m drowning myself in a beer again
And she don’t want to hear how I feel
She gives me choice
And in the tone of her voice
It’s exceedingly clear she means business my friend
And I ain’t got no time to appeal at all
I have got to be a better dude to her
Lord knows I’m trying
I really feel that every time I’m rude to her
A little piece of her dies
Buddy you should be a better dude to her
I ain’t saying you don’t try
But don’t forget that every time you’re rude to her
A little piece of her dies
Well I kicked down the door
And I don’t know what for
And she don’t like the way I’m behaving round here
So she don’t have to hear how I feel
Maybe she’s right when we get in a fight
And her eyes get that look that’s so fierce in them
And she don’t want to hear how I feel at all
I have got to be a better dude to her
Lord knows I’m trying
I really feel that every time I’m rude to her
A little piece of her dies
Buddy you should be a better dude to her
I ain’t saying you don’t try
But don’t forget that every time you’re rude to her
A little piece of her dies
