Better Place
Quelle: Spotify
Tasha's got a room at the county shelter
The cops took her there when her momma got hauled away
Little brother and her can't even stay together
And she cries each night wondering why it's gotta be this way
She says "I wish I was anyone but me"
Yeah she'd pack her life in a heartbeat for a little change in scenery
And she keeps looking for a better place
Somewhere she can wear a smile upon her face
A home to welcome with a warm embrace
There's no way to disguise her lonely eyes
Looking for a better place
Bobby's doing time in youth detention
Pulled a switch blade knife on some boy making fun at school
All he wanted was a little attention
And a temporary escape from the ridicule
And now he's in real deep with the freaks and the criminals
And he wonders when his time is up if he'll know himself at all oh
And he keeps dreaming of a better place
Somewhere he can have a little room to make mistakes
A home to help him wash the past away
Oh he don't need too much just a little love
In a better place
In a better place
Jamie's got a room in a three story brick home
Daddy makes a lot of money
Momma keeps all her laundry clean
She's got a $200 Abecrombie outfit on
Drives a brand new car that she got when she turned 16
Still she spends every night getting high with her so-called friends
She's dropping hundred dollar bills on corner bags
Says she's never coming down again oh
And she keeps looking of a better place
Failing to realize how good she's got it made
Her loving home she don't appreciate
Oh it's crazy but it's true
She doesn't have a clue
She's living in a better place
In a better place
In a better place
We're all looking
We're all looking for a better place
Oh a better place
We're all looking
We're all looking for a better place---Lyrics submitted by LauraLeigh.
