Discover the story of the song > Better Boy – Nate Smith

The lyrics of "Better Boy" tell the protagonist, who is presumably a man, how to treat his romantic partner, referred to as "she". He is advised to do things like polishing his truck, taking her to church, picking wildflowers, holding her shoes, and buying a house. The chorus repeats the phrase "you better boy", urging him to treat her well, love her with all his heart, and be the answer to her mother's prayers. The bridge warns him not to let her go, and the final chorus reminds him to never think that there's a better boy out there.
