Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I was told not long ago My songs are better than myself Someone told me not long ago That my songs are better than myself That the reckless way I'm living, it don't match my melodies That the written words I'm singing, they ain't got no honesty It's all candy from a jukebox that's burning down in hell They said my songs are better than myself [Verse 2] Well, I was told not long ago That my songs are better than myself Cause if a song comes from the heart Then my heart must be stronger than my health But I'll stay up 'til the sunrise just looking for a rhyme And I like getting drunk until it's just about showtime Some nights up on this stage, I'm a hard act to sell Thank God my songs are better than myself [Bridge] Truth be told in every note I play Truth be told I don't care what you say [Verse 3] I was told not long ago That my songs are better than myself So if you're still listening right now I'd say this song is doing pretty well You might hear it on some old jukebox that's burning down in hell Well, my songs are better than myself Yeah, all my songs are better than myself
