Lyrics
Better Than The TV
Tim Bays/Mike Rayburn
© 1994 In Cahoots Music, Lost Paddle Music (ASCAP)
Preacher ran the blinking light on Main
Lost control he was drunk again
And when he the pumps at the BP station
He got a chance to check on his salvation
Half a mile away they found debris
It was better than the TV
Couple big-mouth tourists come to town
Ain't never seen a horse or milked a cow
So when they saw the black cat with the long white stripe
Told'em petting that kitty would be all right
Had to burn their clothes in gasoline
It was better than the TV
Chorus
Cause it ain't made up
It's the real stuff
Like real love is a mystery
It's better than the TV
We get channel 2 and channel 4
Used to get 5 but don't no more
Cable ain't made it to the valley yet
And I'd just as soon it never did
Just leaves more time for you and me
And that's better than the TV...Chorus
