I've never been that good at being good I've got a handful of ex wives to show I can lay a heart to waste But I've learned from my mistakes And I hope I'm gettin' better as I go Whiskey is a demon I've been wrestlin' More than once it's had me on the ropes I put it down, I pick it back up I won't lie man, it's been tough But I hope I'm gettin' better as I go There' a reason And she waits for me while I'm out on the road She's my beacon She keeps me pointed where I need to go A beat up old guitar, pen to paper Is the only way I know how to show This heart that beats in me And the best I may not be But I hope I'm gettin' better as I go Yeah, I hope you're listenin', babe I love you more every day And I hope I'm gettin' better as I go
