I wanna be, I wanna be a better man
I wanna be, I wanna be a better man
You're driving your car along
I'm pushing my cart along
I want to be a better man
So don't you see I'm a trying man?
I'm not as lucky as you
That's why I've got holes in my shoe
I don't know if it's destiny
But please, brother help me
I wanna be, I wanna be a better man
I wanna be, I wanna be a better man
I've got no wife and children to care
Pretty clothes I cannot wear
I'm on the street from day to day
I got no rent and bills to pay
I wanna be, I wanna be a better man
I wanna be, I've got to be a better man
I wanna be, I've got to be a better man
