	Better Man
	(by Terry Hollahan and Pam Childs)

	"Mama would you fix my bike" "I think I’ve got a flat" "Hey mama would you pitch the ball" "If I can find my bat" Wait a minute buddy Let me dry your sister’s tears Time to get your homework done Supper’s almost here Better get the kids to bed Before it gets too late Gotta get ‘em off to school And be at work by eight On the way home (make time) To get the groceries in Pick up the kids from school And start it all again Since you left I’ve learned a lot about myself I’m living in the real world and you’re off somewhere else I never thought that you would put us on the shelf But I know one thing that is true I’m a better man than you I don’t know how to fix a sink But I guess I’ll muddle through Or set-up this damn TV But hey, neither did you And all this yardwork’s hard But makes me feel so good Doing all those things All those things you never would Since you left I learned to live life on my own I can hold down a job and keep up a home I never thought that I could make it on my own But I know one thing that is true I’m a better man than you These 24 hour days have got me up against the wall I’d let go in a minute if I had somewhere to fall But there’s just one thing that gets me through it all Every little thing I do, I do so much better than you I could sit here and talk the whole night through But I’ve got better things to do ‘Cause I’m a better man than you . . .
