Beat You There (Studio Version)

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, someway

Even if it\'s for a moment

So I can hear you say

Don\'t cry for me, I\'m alright

I\'m better than you know

And this life can be a short ride

So don\'t waste in 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

But it don\'t really help me today

And we ain\'t supposed to question

The man upstairs

But 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 short ride

So don\'t waste it on sorrow

And just hold on 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

We\'re here a little bit longer

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

And I\'ll see you there
