Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My best foot forward is a stumble at best
Don’t hold the cards too close to the vest
And I’ll take the high road even if it ain’t that cool
Dodged a few Sundays and that offerin’ plate
By the time I get to sorry it’s a little too late
Learned more from my mistakes than I did in school
And I’ve gambled it all a thousand times and often come up short
[Chorus]
I know I don’t win a heart to give a damn
And I’ll show up with only half a plan
There’s who I ain’t, there’s who I am
But there’s only ever been one perfect man
[Verse 2]
I’ve ruffled up some feathers, thrown a few birds
I’ve missed the mark on a couple read words
I’ve cussed, I’ve prayed
I’ve walked, I’ve stayed
But one thing’s for certain at the end of the day
[Chorus]
I know I don’t win a heart to give a damn
And I’ll show up with only half a plan
There’s who I ain’t, there’s who I am
But there’s only ever been one perfect man
[Bridge]
The more I live, the more I wanna be
A little more like Him and less like me
[Chorus]
I know I don’t win a heart to give a damn
And I’ll show up with only half a plan
There’s who I ain’t, there’s who I am
But there’s only ever been one perfect man
Perfect man
