I Got Better

Everything's still pretty much the same 'round here

Neighbors still shooting all of next year's deer

Boys still lose 'less they're playing at home

But I got better since you got gone

I'm still a few too many on a Friday night

I still try to step in when it ain't my fight

I'm still me, don't get me wrong

But I got better since you got gone

Swear it was like I'll be damned

I'm finally back to being who I am

When we were over, it was overnight

Light came on, it all felt right when it all went wrong

You turned me loose

Wasn't no telling who I'd turn into

But it turns out, me and you together's why it took so long

'Cause I got better since you got gone

For a little while there you had me convinced

That my mama was the devil, now we're talking again

My friends you hated ain't said one word

Besides, "You got better since you lost her"

Swear it was like I'll be damned

I'm finally back to being who I am

When we were over, it was overnight

Light came on, it all felt right when it all went wrong

You turned me loose

Wasn't no telling who I'd turn into

But it turns out, me and you together's why it took so long

‘Cause I got better since you got gone

Ah, baby, since you got gone

And I ain't saying you're the sleep that I lost

But I never slept this good before

I ain't saying you're the weight on my back

I'm just saying that it ain't there no more

I'll be damned

I'm finally back to being who I am

When we were over, it was overnight

Light came on, it all felt right when it all went wrong

You turned me loose

Wasn't no telling who I'd turn into

But it turns out, me and you together's why it took so long

'Cause I got better since you got gone

Yeah, baby, since you got gone
