Beat You There

I don't know why God always takes the good ones first

And man, I've tried to be strong and carry on, but damn this hurts

And I just wish that I could talk to you again, somehow, some way

Even if it's for a moment, so I can hear you say

Don't cry for me, I'm alright

Yeah, I'm better than you know

And this life can be a shorter ride

So don't waste it on sorrow

And just hold on to those moments

And the memories we shared

We're both headed for the same place anyway

I just beat you there

I know they say, "Just give it a little time, you'll be okay"

That might be true, it don't really help me today

And we ain't supposed to question the Man upstairs

'Cause there's just so much I don't understand

It just don't seem fair

Don't cry for me, I'm alright

I'm better than you know

And this life can be a shorter ride

So don't waste it on sorrow

And just hold on to those moments

And the memories we shared

We're both headed for the same place anyway

I just beat you there

And as each day goes by

I get a little bit stronger

But that don't stop me from wishing you

Were here a little bit longer

Whoa, whoa, whoa

And so I'm gonna smile when I think of you

Like I know you'd want me to

And I know you're watching over me

In everything I do

And all those things I never got to say

Well, I'll send 'em with this prayer

Then look up, wipe my tears and raise my beer

Mm, mm

And I'll see you there

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And I'll see you there

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
