[Verse 1]
G
There's a world on fire
Feels like a bad dream
C
Did the hammer come down?
Feels like a kick in the teeth
D
All this down on my luck
C
Has been gettin' me down on my knees
G
Might have been something I need
[Chorus]
C
'Cause I been chasin
Rat racin'
Doin' anything to win
G
My grass looks like Augusta
And I got around to paintin' that fence
C
I've been callin' up my mama doin' some old friend checkin' in
G
It seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been
Em
With all this goin' on
D
I found some right in all this wrong
C D
And I finally see
G
The good Lord knows better than me
[Verse 2]
G
Got a little less in the bank
I get a little more sleep
C
Get a little more use out of that old porch swing
D C
Got a little more her holdin' on to little more me
G
Feel a little more free
[Chorus]
C
'Cause I been chasin
Rat racin'
Doin' anything to win
G
My grass looks like Augusta
And I got around to paintin' that fence
C
I've been callin' up my mama doin' some old friend checkin' in
G
It seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been
Em
With all this goin' on
D
I found some right in all this wrong
C D
And I finally see
G
The good Lord knows better than me
[Verse 3]
G
If the world does end
I'll take the last day slow
C
If He does come back
I know where I'll go
D
If He takes His time
C
Well I've learned one thing
G
The good Lord knows better than me
[Chorus]
C
'Cause I been chasin
Rat racin'
Doin' anything to win
G
I've made more time for fishin'
Finally got my old truck runnin' again
C
I went home to see my mama been good hearing from old friends
G
It seems like where I'm going might be better than where I been
Em
With all this goin' on
D
I found the writin' on the wall
C
And I finally see
G C
The good Lord knows better than me
[Post-Chorus]
G
Lord knows better than me
