Better Than I Used To Be by Sammy Kershaw

I know how to hold a grudge
I can send a bridge up in smoke
and I can't count the people I've let down
or the hearts I've broke
you ain't gotta dig too deep if you wanna find some dirt on me
but I'm learnin' who you've been ain't who you've gotta be
It's gonna be an uphill climb
but honey I won't lie

I ain't no angel
but I've been sittin' out a few more dances with the devil
and cleanin' up my act little by little
I'm gettin' there
I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see
I ain't as good as I'm gonna get
but I'm better than I used to be

I've pinned a lot of demons to the ground
got a lot of old habits licked
but there's still one or two I might need you to help me kick
standin' in the rain so long has left me with a little rust
but put some faith in me
some day you'll see there's a diamond under all this dust

I ain't no angel
but I've been sittin' out a few more dances with the devil
and cleanin' up my act little by little
I'm gettin' there
I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see
I ain't as good as I'm gonna get
but I'm better than I used to be

I ain't no angel
but I've been sittin' out a few more dances with the devil
and cleanin' up my act little by little
I'm gettin' there
I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see
I ain't as good as I'm gonna get
but I'm better than I used to be

I am a Tim fan,but I really think they both do the song justice. but I like Tim's version.Tim sings it just as good as Sammy does.

tim mcgraw sucks so bad his first CD was good though

[Raebrooke99]

Tim McGraw sings this song so much better!

Sammy does this sooooo much better then tim with out a doubt

Great song and great singer! Really beautiful! I know a lot of people can relate to this.

I agree that Sammy does sing this song better than Tim. He puts more heart into it and I like how Sammy says "I've been sitting out a few more dances with the devil" instead of Tim's version that says, "I've still got a few more dances with the devil." Sammy's version is much more sincere in my humble opinion. :)

I think tim mcgraws version is way better but I still like this one just tims voice is so amazing.

Tim's version is nice, but Sammy's version is a songwriter's version; in other words, totally real and heartfelt. Guess which one I prefer!
