Official Lyrics:

Tasha's got a room at the county shelter
The cops took her there when her mama got hauled away
Little brother and her can't even stay together
She cries each night wondering why it's gotta be this way

And she says "I wish I was anyone but me"
Yeah she'd pack her life in a heartbeat for a little change of scenery

And she keeps looking for a better place
Somewhere she can wear a smile upon her face
A home to welcome with a warm embrace
There's no way to disguise her lonely eyes
Looking for a better place

Bobby's doing time in youth detention
Pulled a switch blade knife on some boy making fun at school
And all he wanted was a little attention
And a temporary escape from the ridicule
And now he's in real deep with the freaks and the criminals
And he wonders when his time is up if he'll know himself at all

And he keeps dreaming of a better place
Somewhere he can have a little room to make mistakes
A home to help him wash the past away
Oh he don't need too much, just a little love
In a better place
In a better place

Jamie's got a room in a 3-story brick home
Daddy makes a lotta money, mama keeps all her laundry clean
And she's got a $200 Abercrombie outfit on
Drives a brand new car that she got when she turned 16
Still she spends every night getting high with her so-called friends
And she's dropping hundred dollar bills on quarterbags, says she's never coming down again

And she keeps looking for a better place
Failing to realize how good she's got it made
Her loving home, she don't appreciate
Oh it's crazy but it's true, she doesn't have a clue
She's living in a better place
In a better place

In a better place
We're all lookin, we’re all lookin’ for a better place
Woah a better place
We're all lookin, we’re all lookin’ for a better place

Hey @Corey Smith, I dont know if you will ever see this but I first heard this song many many years ago and just wanted you to know how much this means for me as a dude who has always dreamed of a better place. This song tears me up everytime and it's one of my all time favorites. Thanks brother!

So... my brother brought saw you in Texas literally a million years ago. He brought home your cd to me and I was freaking obsessed. I am. All these years later and I STILL come back to this song (and 21). I am about to be 28 in April I was probably 19 when I got that cd! I don’t know if you are still doing music, song writing! We need more story tellers like you 🤍

You have inner strength of a warrior
We lose people we love, and think when, how, and why? Leaves your mind to wonder and wounder, why? Some of the strongest people, have the spine of a jellyfish. Some of the weakest people, have a lion heart. Some of the craziest people, love harder then ive ever seen. Some of the richest people, never find true happiness. Some of the poorest people, live everyday filled with happiness and joy. Either way, tough, strong, smart, weak, rich, poor, short, tall, fat, skinny, beautiful, ulgy... We are all human. Humans make mistakes, lie, beg, steal, hurt, even kill. But never forget humans also, care, feel, kiss, love, and heal each other. You might be privileged, spoiled, loved, adored, sought-after. Do you have any idea how mean, ulgy, sad, terrifying, tragic, and utterly horrible this world can be... Help before you judge! We are only human. Lovelife!!
