Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He left at dawn
With a sack and a scar
Mama on the porch
Baby sleepin' by the jar
The sheriff came once
And the preacher came twice
Said your blood runs thin
When your own kin lie
[Pre-Chorus]
He looked back once
At the fence and the dust
Said I can't stay here
If I ain't made of trust
[Chorus]
Better than them
Better than them
I won't go back
To the crooked land
Better than them
Better than them
I had to leave
To be a better man
[Verse 2]
He crossed that creek
Where the sun bakes bone
Kept his hands off pride
Kept his name his own
He worked all day
With his boots in mud
Didn't touch that money
Didn't taste that blood
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile hurt
Every mile taught
What a man can lose
When he sells what he's got
[Chorus]
Better than them
Better than them
I won't go back
To the crooked land
Better than them
Better than them
I had to leave
To be a better man
[Bridge]
[Echo]
The dry valley
The dry valley
[Echo]
Take the hard road
Take the hard road
[Echo]
Leave the crooked table
Leave the crooked table
[Echo]
For the little ones
For the little ones
[Chorus]
Better than them
Better than them
I won't go back
To the crooked land
Better than them
Better than them
I had to leave
To be a better man
