It's a world on fire It feels like a bad dream Did the hammer come down It feels like a kick in the teeth It's down on my luck It's been getting me down on my knees It might have been something I need Cause I've been chasing, rat racing Doing anything to win Now my grass looks like Augusta And I got around to painting that fence I've been calling up my mama Doing some old friend checking in And it seems like where I'm going Might be better than where I've been Cause with all this going on I found the right and all this wrong And I finally see The good Lord knows better than me I got a little less in the bank But I get a little more sleep I get a little more use Out of that old poor swing I got a little more hurt Holding on to a little more me I feel a little more free Cause I've been chasing, rat racing Doing anything to win Now my grass looks like Augusta And I got around to painting that fence I've been calling up my mama Doing some old friend checking in And it seems like where I'm going Might be better than where I've been Cause with all this going on I found the right and all this wrong And I finally see The good Lord knows better than me Knows better than me If the world does end I'll take the last day slow And if He does come back I know where I'll go And if He takes His time Well, I've learned one thing The good Lord knows better than me Cause I've been chasing, rat racing Doing anything to win Now I make more time for fishing I got my old truck running again I went home to see my mama Been good hearing from old friends And it seems like where I'm going Might be better than where I've been Cause with all this going on I found the right and all the wrong And I finally see The good Lord knows better than me Better than me So much better than me
