This whole world on fire Feels like a bad dream Did the hammer come down? Feels like a kick in the teeth All this down on my luck Has been gettin' me down on my knees Might have been something I need 'Cause I been chasin Rat racin' Doin' anything to win My grass looks like Augusta And I got around to paintin' that fence I been callin' up my mama doin' some old friend checkin' in It seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been 'Cause with all this goin' on I found some right in all this wrong And I finally see The good Lord knows better than me I got a little less in the bank I get a little more sleep I get a little more use out of that old porch swing I got a little more her holdin' on to little more me I feel a little more free 'Cause I been chasin Rat racin' Doin' anything to win My grass looks like Augusta And I got around to paintin' that fence I been callin' up my mama doin' some old friend checkin' in And it seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been 'Cause with all this goin' on I'm findin' right in 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 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 been chasin Rat racin' Doin' anything to win I've made more time for fishin' I got my old truck runnin' 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 been 'Cause with all this goin' on I found the writin' on the wall And I finally see The good Lord knows better than me Better than me So much better than me
