Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

A Better Love Next Time

Got a call tonight

Sayin' we could still be friends

What a way to say goodbye

What a way to end

They say the darkest hour

Is just before dawn

So I'll just hold my head up

And try to sing my song

Better love next time

Just don't let me lose my mind

All I need's a real friend

To pick me up again

I gotta shake these memories

If there's another chance for me

I'll be lookin' for a sign

Won't someone help me find

A better love next time

I could sit around and hurt forever over you

But in my heart I know you're really gone

There must be a reason for the pain I'm goin' through

Telling me I'm not where I belong

Better love next time

Just don't let me lose my mind

All I need's a real friend

To pick me up again

I gotta shake these memories

If there's another chance for me

I'll be lookin' for a sign

Won't someone help me find

A better love next time

Just as soon as I am strong

I'll be movin' on

To a better love next time
