I've got a desk full of unpaid bills
And books I haven't read
A list of things I ought to do today
And the things I'll do instead
She's miles too pretty for what I'm bringing
Since the day that we first met
She could have had diamonds and caviar
But she chose me instead
She is my better angel
She's my saving grace
She knows I ain't no good at parties
Unless I'm on a stage
And since there ain't no better story
Than the truth in this three-chord game
Know I'd be just another sinner
If it weren't for her good name
And I've been known just like my gramps
To sometimes catch a mood
And living with me ain't always easy
Girl you know it's true
But I never had to hide from her
Anything that I've done
And I owe her the moon and stars
'Cause she's always been my sun
She is my better angel
She's my saving grace
She knows I ain't no good at parties
Unless I'm on a stage
And since there ain't no better story
Than the truth in this three-chord game
Know I'd be just another sinner
If it weren't for her good name
Whoa, if it weren't for her good name
Whoa, if it weren't for her good name
I got a little notoriety
From this here guitar
But she was standing right beside of me
In all those empty bars
And in my mind it's 2:05
After school on that back hill
I can't believe she'll even talk to me
I guess I feel that still
She is my better angel
She's my saving grace
She knows I ain't no good at parties
Unless I'm on a stage
And since there ain't no better story
Than the truth in this three-chord game
Know I'd be just another sinner
You know I'd be just another sinner
You know I'd be just another sinner
If it weren't for her good name
