Brenn Hill A Better Friend Lyrics

Verse 1:
Through the phone I can hear the pain inside your voice
The same I've heard inside my own when I didn't have a choice
You say the years and long hard miles have fin'ly taken their toll
Nowadays you come down hard when you used to tuck ‘n' roll
Wild colts and lightnin' bolts still dance inside your mind
But when a storm breaks loose on a young cayuse you're just step behind
Chorus:
But I know who you are
And I know there'll never be
A better man, a better hand, a better friend to me

Verse 2:
I listen to the stories of your life out in these hills
And through your eyes I always find a little iron will
To stand against the winds of change and go the extra mile
To treat my fellow man in kind with an honest word and smile And sink a spur even when it hurts and always do my best
Never be afraid to wear my heart out on my chest

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Ain't it time for some else to ride them green-broke colts
Take some time out for yourself and the woman that you hold
She's got a heart of gold
Verse 3:
So take the easy trail back home there's nothin' left to prove
Wannabees like me come free but there's damn few left like you
Sell your colts and your broken bones and buy a grown up horse
There's no shame in givin' in as nature takes its course
Wild colts and lightnin' bolts still dance inside your mind
There's a man looks just like you ropin' mustangs inside mine

Final Chorus
