Better Things to Do Blog

Terri Clark sings a great after-break-up song called Better Things to Do. Her lyrics encourage me to stay strong and don’t regret anything that is in the past. Instead, I think she wants people to be grateful for the decisions they have made and continue living their lives for God. Furthermore, here are the lyrics Clark shares with us, obviously about her past experiences with an ex-boyfriend of hers. “Don't tell me the reason that you're calling is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone because I know you and I know why we're talking: You're wanting me to say, ‘I'm barely hanging on.’ Well, maybe that was true for a night or two, but now, I got better things to do. I could wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings, mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday. I don't need to waste my time crying over you. I’ve got better things to do. Maybe when I don't have so much going or quite so many irons in the fire, I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping, but now, I can't put forth the effort it requires. Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue. That's right, I got better things to do.” After the chorus, Clark continues, “Check the air in my tires, straighten my stereo wires, count the stars in the sky, or just get on with my life. I don't need to waste my time crying over you. I’ve got better things to do.” Thanks Terri Clark for all the encouragement you’ve given to me and so many other women.
