I Got Better

Everything's still pretty much the same 'round here My neighbors still shootin' all of next year's deer Boys still lose 'less they're playin' 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 bein' 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 tellin' 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 talkin' 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 bein' 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 tellin' 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 Oh, baby, since you got gone

And I ain't sayin' that you're the sleep that I lost But I never slept this good before I ain't sayin' you're the weight on my back I'm just sayin' that it ain't there no more

I'll be damned I'm finally back to bein' 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 tellin' 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
