Love was a game I played dealer's choice In the back of a bar all summer Forgetting names like background noise In relationships I wanted none of Went off the rails by fall Lord knows I needed savin Wore off the alcohol And you were there like an angel waiting I didn't know you'd have brown eyes Like to pray to Jesus spending Friday nights at home Didn't know you'd be the strong kind Deeper than a coal mine lovin with a heart of gold You're everything that I'm not, everything that I want There's a God n' baby you're proof In those those brown eyes, I know that I got to find A better me for you Made a living dipping toes in the water Feelin low with my walls up high I was staying far away from the deep end Girl like you made a boy like me try Went off the rails that fall Lord knows I needed savin Made me forget them all I didn't know you'd have brown eyes Like to pray to Jesus spending Friday nights at home Didn't know you'd be the strong kind Deeper than a coal mine lovin with a heart of gold You're everything that I'm not, everything that I want There's a God n' baby you're proof In those those brown eyes, I know that I got to find A better me for you Don't worry about the miles that it takes we can make Every one of them worth all the drivin I'll sing your praises every way like the hymnals all say I could love you til the end of time And I never knew you'd have brown eyes Liked to pray to Jesus spendin Friday nights at home Never knew you'd be the strong kind Deeper than a coal mine lovin with heart of gold You're everything that I'm not, everything that I want There's a God n' baby you're proof In those those brown eyes, I know that I got to find A better me for you A better me for you Oh A better me for you A better me for you
