Better Off

Another weekend night. Every other night
Every time’s a good time to get out of the house
Plenty of friends around, always up for heaading downtown
Just as long as she can get out of the house
I guess it’s going on two years since she filled that house with tears
All the stitching fell apart and she could no longer call it a home
Her husband ran away when all the problems came
Yeah, that quitter quit and he left his wife all alone
Here’s to hoping she won’t rush into things
If there’s one thing she needs to learn is how to play it safe
Her dad is always there, her brother’s down the street
And I hope she knows she can call anytime she needs
If she’s had too much to drink. If she just can’t get to sleep
If something goes wrong and she’s stuck on the side of the road
If there’s one thing she needs to learn, besides how to play it safe
Is that no matter how she feels she should never ever feel alone
She’s bettter off without all these bastards who only lie when they talk
She’s better off filling up her closet, filling up the void, and feeding her
dogs
She’s better off… knowing it doesn’t matter that he’s gone
She’s better off moving on
The sun is up she’s on her way to work and on the drive she’s thinking about
that jerk who tried to pick her up last night
She’s feeling sorry for his wife
Wondering if he’s got kids wondering where their father is
The only thing she knows for sure is…
She’s better off without all these bastards tho only lie when they talk
She’s better off filling up her closet, filling up the void, and feeding her
dogs
She’s better off… knowing it doesn’t matter that he’s gone
She’s better off moving on
