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 saving
Wore off the alcohol
And you were there like an angel waiting
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
Loving 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
Made a living dipping toes in the water
Feeling 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 saving
Made me forget them all
And 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
Loving 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
Oh, oh, a better me for you
Oh, oh, oh
Don't worry 'bout the miles that it takes
We can make every one of them worth all the driving
I'll sing your praises every way
Like the hymnals all say
I could love you till the end of time and
I never knew you'd have brown eyes
Like to pray to Jesus
Spending Friday nights at home
Never knew you'd be the strong kind
Deeper than a coal mine
Loving 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
Yeah, a better me for you
Oh, oh, oh
A better me for you
A better me for you
