across a young man's room

Better Man
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Ohh...
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Yeah...
She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (3x)
Can't find a better...man...
Ohh...ohh...
Uh huh... (5x)
Ohh...
Last Kiss
We were out on a date in my dady's car
We haven't driven very far
there in the rode,straight ahead
A car wouldn't start the engine was dead
I couldn't stop,so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires
The bustin' glass
the painful scream that I heard last
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up
the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Something warm falling through my eyes
But somehow I found,my baby that night
I lifted her head
she looked at me and said
Hold me darlin' just a little while
I held her close
I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love,my life that night
Oh,where oh,where can my baby be
the lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
