A Better Way

A Better Way - The Mavericks

Written by：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

I'll mend itself someday

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

I'll mend itself someday

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

And if you find a broken heart

Somewhere along the way

Don't you dare pick it up

I'll mend itself someday

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

I'll mend itself someday
