"A Better Way" Lyrics

(Raul Malo)

We spent the night in a hobo town
Like a pair of runaways
We lit a fire and sang the songs
We learned from yesterday.

Settled down and built a house
With our own sweatin' hands
What happened next I'll never know
Or never understand.

Finished with my working day
And headed straight for home
I looked inside the bedroom door
And you were not alone.

Well, I hope you find a better way
To get through my front door
The roads you take don't let you see
I don't love you anymore.

And if you find a broken heart
Somewhere along the way
Don't you dare pick it up
It'll mend itself someday.

--- Instrumental ---

You thought my life was over now
Well honey, you thought wrong
I found myself someone to love
Who'll love me all night long.

All the things you left behind
I threw them all away
You never cared enough about
The things I had to say.

Well, I hope you find a better way
To get through my front door
The roads you take don't let you see
I don't love you anymore.

Well, I hope you find a better way
To get through my front door
The roads you take don't let you see
I don't love you anymore...
