Better Things Than These

Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. more »

You thought you'd set the world on fire that life was just a song
You thought if you'd try hard enough things couldn't turn out wrong
How feeble is the string of those whose heartaches never ease
But there'll may be a chance for me for better things than these
So many battles fought and lost you've heard of constantly
For someone left to pay the cost and this time it's mean
But there's one thing I'm hopin' for someday the pain will leave
Tomorrow may rebuild to me much better things than these
[ fiddle ]
You've learned to love somebody new it seems that I can't bear
To see you in another's arms and know you're happy there
My heart is broken still I try a jealous heart to please
It's hard to smile but God may show me the better things than these
