Better Every Damn Day Outlaw Version

[Verse 1] Woke up late in the same old hell, Bills on the table, I know ‘em well. Boss keeps barkin’, says I’m through, I said, “Man, that’s nothin’ new.” Coffee’s cold, the fire’s gone out, Everything I own’s been sold or pawned out. Still, I stand and curse this day, Then grin and say, “I’m better anyway.” [Chorus] Yeah, I’m better every damn day, Even when it all goes the wrong way. Ain’t no luck, ain’t no grace, Just dirt and smoke and a weathered face. Still, I f***t, come what may, I’m better every damn day. [Verse 2] The law pulled me over, said I’m slow, Told him, “Ain’t nowhere else to go.” He said, “Boy, you best behave.” I said, “You ain’t seen the life I’ve gave.” Mama said I’m wastin’ time, But I’m too broke to walk that line. Might be lost, but hell, I stay, Laughin’ through the pain that won’t decay. [Chorus] Yeah, I’m better every damn day, Even when the world won’t let me pray. Ain’t no angel watchin’ here, Just a man with a smoke and a cheap warm beer. Still, I rise from the ash and clay, I’m better every damn day. [Bridge] No white picket fence, no promised land, Just scars and callus on both my hands. But the fire still burns beneath the pain, And I’d do it all again. [Final Chorus] Yeah, I’m better every damn day, No matter what they take away. If the devil comes, I’ll tip my hat, Tell him, “Son, I’ve already been where you’re at.” Still stand tall in my own damn way, I’m better every damn day. [Outro] Ain’t no peace, ain’t no rest... But hell, I’m still here — that’s better than the rest.
