lirik lagu better than i deserve – the local honeys
[verse 1]
when my granddaddy was a boy
he walked for miles and miles
from buckhannon to ole jane lew
to find a place to stay awhile
[verse 2]
it wasn’t a home he’d made his own
but one for wayward boys
said, “the food was hard and the women cold
but it’s better than i deserve”
[chorus]
it’s just another place to be alone
another war that can’t be won
if i could pull my boots back on
i’d still be left with just the one
but the only truth i’ve ever known
you can’t take it with you when you’re gone
[verse 3]
an orphan left alone to die
he never bothered to lay down and cry
so he packed his grip, he traveled extra light
said, “my only plans was for tonight”
[verse 4]
he was small in his frame
but neither blind nor he lame
so he told a lie that put him in the sky
uncle sam gave him a plane
[chorus]
it’s just another place to be alone
another war that can’t be won
if i could pull my boots back on
i’d still be left with just the one
but the only truth i’ve ever known
you can’t take it with you when you’re gone
[verse 5]
in nineteen forty*five they shot his gunner
down in broad daylight
crying, “glory be! what a day to die!
but you’ll never have me alive”
[verse 6]
and after four days he was saved at sea
floated right on by the enemy
took him home to die with some dignity
and that better than i deserve
[chorus]
it’s just another place to be alone
another war that can’t be won
if i could pull my boots back on
i’d still be left with just the one
but the only truth i’ve ever known
you can’t take it with you when you’re gone
[outro]
yeah, the only truth i’ve ever known
you can’t take it with you when you’re gone
