That girl's got her eyes on a fadin' horizon Here come the last line of our favorite song It's the end of an era She's gonna tear up That interstate on her way to Charleston She's gone movin' on Takin' off my leather jacket Gonna drive as far as she can tonight Gonna sleep on the roadside She'll know when our hometown country station turns to static She ain't ever been that far from home But I know she's better off gone Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone We all knew that she was too good for Kansas She swears we'll end up together in the end She wouldn't have to say that If she really thought that fact is She ain't comin' back again And she's gone movin' on Takin' off my leather jacket She gonna drive as far as she can tonight Gonna sleep on the roadside She'll know when our hometown country station turns to static She ain't ever been that far from home But I know she's better off gone Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone Only good thing I ever had Just up and gone away like that I love her enough to not hold on It's gonna break my heart but I'll get along 'Cause she's better off gone She's gone, movin' on Takin' off my leather jacket She gonna drive as far as she can tonight She gonna sleep on the roadside She'll know when our hometown country station turns to static She ain't ever been that far from home But I know she's better off gone Better off, better off gone, better off (I know she's better off gone) Better off, better off gone, better off (She's better off) Better off, better off gone, better off (She's better off gone) Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone

I threw away a lifetime, you laughed and called it a sin There ain't ever gonna be a way to work it out not after a night like this I've been waiting on your call now, just the silence and me I know you want me to chase you around But I'm so tired of asking you please I'm through with this, I'll forget your kiss and move on There'll be no sleepless nights I'll be alright from now on I'm better off now that you're gone Better off now that you're gone You put me so far down, girl, I couldn't even stand on my own Ghosts of you would come back to me whenever I was alone Now the candles have all burned out and the doors are locked and chained Have no doubts, this time I've figured out a way to end all your games I'm through with this, I'll forget your kiss and move on There'll be no sleepless nights, I'll be alright from now on I'm better off now that you're gone Better off now that you're gone Nights spent with empty bottles and picking up broken glass I should've known from the very first night That this just never would last Oh, I'm through with this, I'll forget your kiss and move on There'll be no sleepless nights, I'll be alright from now on I'm better off now that you're gone Better off now that you're gone So much better off now that you're gone

I got pain from my waist up And I wake up and I take drugs And I say stuff that I make up, like "I hate love" And I hate that I can't lie, couldn't hate you if I tried It'll suck for all week, then hurt more on the weekend When I go out, and see your friends And I don't know what to tell 'em I can't lie, couldn't hate you if I tried I'm comin' around to see you, comin' around to leave you What is the point of hoping when it's already broken? It hurts to let you go and it's worse to hold on But I know that I'll be better when you're gone Said I know that I'll be better when you're gone When you're gone Said I know that I'll be better when you're gone Said I know that I'll be better when you're gone You gave me just eighty When I needed all hundred percent of you lately It's obvious you don't even try, you don't even try I know we were dying, went into silence Not even I'd hope, I'd hope 'Cause someone was dying Whenever you're with me, you don't even try I'm comin' around to see you, comin' around to leave you What is the point of hoping when it's already broken? It hurts to let you go and it's worse to hold on But I know that I'll be better when you're gone Said I know that I'll be better when you're gone When you're gone Said I know that I'll be better when you're gone Said I know that I'll be better when you're gone

Got pain from my waist up And I'll wake up and I'll take drugs And I say stuff that I make up, like I hate love And I hate that I can't lie, couldn't hate you if I tried It'll suck for a week, then hurt more on a weekend When I go out, see your friends And I don't know what to tell 'em I can't lie, couldn't hate you if I tried I'm coming around to see ya Coming around to leave ya What is the point of hoping When it's already broken? It hurts to let you go but it's worse to hold on But I know that I'll be better When you're gone Said I know that I'll be better When you're gone When you're gone Said I know that I'll be better When you're gone You gave me just eighty When I needed a hundred percent of you lately It's obvious you don't even try You don't even try I'm coming around to see ya Coming around to leave ya What is the point of hoping When it's already broken? It hurts to let you go but it's worse to hold on But I know that I'll be better When you're gone Said I know that I'll be better When you're gone When you're gone Said I know that I'll be better When you're gone Said I know that I'll be better When you're gone
