[Verse 1]
Love was a game
I played dealer`s choice
In the back of a bar all summer
Forgetting names like background noise
In relationships I wanted none of
Went off the rails by fall
Lord knows I needed savin`
Wore off the alcohol
And you were there like an angel waiting

[Chorus]
I didn`t know you`d have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus
Spending Friday nights at home
Didn`t know you`d be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine
Lovin` with a heart of gold
And you`re everything that I`m not
Everything that I want
Thеre`s a God, and baby, you`re proof
In those brown еyes
I know that I gotta find a better me for you

[Verse 2]
Made a living dipping toes in the water
Feelin` low with my walls up high
I was staying far away from the deep end
Girl like you made a boy like me try
Went off the rails that fall
Lord knows I needed savin`
Made me forget them all

[Chorus]
And I didn`t know you`d have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus
Spendin` Friday nights at home
Didn`t know you`d be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine
Lovin` with a heart of gold
And you`re everything that I`m not
Everything that I want
There`s a God, and baby, you`re proof
In those brown eyes
I know that I gotta find a better me for you

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, oh-oh-oh)
A better me for you
(Hoh, ohh-ohh)

[Bridge]
Don`t worry `bout the miles that it takes
We can make every one of them worth all the drivin`
I`ll sing your praises every way
Like the hymnals all say
I could love you `til the end of time, and

[Chorus]
I never knew you`d have brown eyes
Liked to pray to Jesus
Spend your Friday nights at home
Never knew you`d be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine
Lovin` with a heart of gold
And you`re everything that I`m not
Everything that I want
There`s a God, and baby, you`re proof
In those brown eyes
I know that I gotta find, better me for you

[Outro]
Yeah, better me for you
Oh-oh-oh
Better me for you
A better me for you
