Years Ago Lyrics

Another morning lying awake

I gotta get through another day

Being dry

My son talked to me today

I ain't seen my grandkids since last may

Makes me wanna cry

Some days hell oughta freeze

Since I gave up on having a drink

Like I knew I could

Some days are harder than most

But I'll get through em I suppose

When I do it makes me feel good

There's things about me that you should know

Things I'm not proud of but a man can always grow

No more Friday nights neon lights DUIs or rock n roll

I'm not an angel and I'm not a saint I know

But I'm better than the man I was years ago

Every day is a different day

But I get through it for my daughters sake

She's my rock

She's got a home of her own

I'm proud of her and how much a she's grown

How I wish I could turn back the clock

And be there for her through those years

I can still remember seeing her tears

The day judgement came

Well CPS took her away from me

Because I was strung out on methamphetemine

They made me sign my baby girl away

There's things about me you should know

Things I'm not proud of but a man can always grow

No more one phone calls, breaking laws or disappearing like a ghost

I'm not an angel and I'm not a saint I know

But I'm better than the man I was years ago

Some days are harder than most

That devil on my shoulder is trying to get me to go

Back down that old road

But I'm better than the man I was years ago

Yeah I'm better than the man I was years ago
