I wanna be, I wanna be a better man
I wanna be, I wanna be a better man You're driving your car along
I'm pushing my cart along
I want to be a better man
So don't you see I'm a trying man? I'm not as lucky as you
That's why I've got holes in my shoe
I don't know if it's destiny
But please, brother help me I wanna be, I wanna be a better man
I wanna be, I wanna be a better man I've got no wife and children to care
Pretty clothes I cannot wear
I'm on the street from day to day
I got no rent and bills to pay I wanna be, I wanna be a better man
I wanna be, I've got to be a better man
I wanna be, I've got to be a better man
