Better Than I Deserve

Verse 1

Acoustic guitar and voice

I showed up late to our first dateIn a shirt that still smelled like workYou laughed and paid for dinnerSaid a man should eatI married you the next June

Pre-Chorus

Some men only get lucky onceAnd I get lucky every morning

Chorus

You're better than I deserveHell, the whole town knowsI'll spend my life catching upYou're better than I deserve

Verse 2

You kept the lights on through the layoffNever once said I told youOur boy's got your good heartAnd, lucky kid, your eyes

Pre-Chorus

Some men only get lucky onceAnd I get lucky every morning

Chorus

Fiddle, steel and full band enter

You're better than I deserveHell, the whole town knowsI'll spend my life catching upYou're better than I deserve

Bridge

Quiet, just guitar

When we're old and I'm still slowYou'll still be waiting up for me

Final Chorus

Big singalong, full band

You're better than I deserveHell, the whole town knowsI'll spend my life catching upYou're better than I deserveYou're better than I deserveHell, the whole world knowsI'll spend my life catching upYou're better than I deserve
