"Better Man Blues Original Jim Project (tribute to T Waits)

[Verse 1]
Woke up in the dark,
Dust in my chest.
Socks on the floor,
No time to rest.
Mirror said, “Son,
You’re a mess again.”
I lit a smoke,
Said, “Tell me when.”

[Chorus ]
Gotta be a better man,
Gotta be a better man,
For my kids, for my name —
Gotta be a better man.

[Verse 2]
Lunchbox notes,
Crayon dreams.
They draw me strong,
A man who gleams.
But my hands shake,
My boots are thin,
Still I lace ‘em up,
And I dive back in.

[Chorus]
Gotta be a better man,
Gotta be a better man,
For their hearts, for their light —
Gotta be a better man.

[Bridge]
I ain’t clean,
But I try.
I still lie,
Then I cry.
But I hug 'em tight,
And I swear again —
Tomorrow, son,
You’ll see me win.

[Chorus ]
Gotta be a better man,
Gotta be a better man,
For my girl, for my boy —
Gotta be a better man.

[Outro ]
One step,
Then one more.
I knock,
They open the door.
And I say —
I’m tryin’.

[Final Chorus]
Gotta be a better man,
Gotta be a better man,
For their love, for their smile —
Gotta be a better man.
