Better Than Mine - Allah-Las

He held the stool far

Aback some dark bar

And coddled quietly

His tumbler filled with gin

He motioned my way

And turning sideways

He told me son, now listen in

I’ve seen it roll by

More times than most’d try

It never seems to fail

Or alter in its course

You’re at the doorstep

You haven’t slipped yet

You could be golden evermore

He told me always take some time just wonder

About some foreign land or days of old

And admit it to yourself if you should blunder

And always try to take the higher road

His eyes grew wide now

He drank his gin down

And said he’d had to learn this

All the hardest way

Beware of cardinal sin

Take that which you put in

And savor each and every day

He told me always take some time just to wonder

And always come to question what you’re told

And to love without condition those who wander

For it’s they who’ll come to pave that higher road
