John Waite - Better Off Gone lyrics

rate me

I can see there’s no easy way out

Paper cup half-full of gin

Behind the wheel of a Lincoln Continental

Driving down your street again.

I take your ghost out on the freeway

Out from the memory of your leavin’

A thousand miles till the day break over Tulsa

Where no one's heard about you.

‘cause one of these days

You’re gonna be with somebody

And I, I don’t wanna hurt no one.

Gonna let these horses run

Straight into the morning sun

I'm better off gone, yeah yeah

I'm better off gone, yeah yeah.

Out of the rhythm of the white lines,

Just the inner state of me

I place my bet on a hand that I was winning

And it made a loser out of me

‘cause one of these days

You’re gonna be with somebody

And I, I don’t wanna hurt no one.

Gonna let these horses run

Straight into the morning sun

'cause I'm better off gone

‘cause one of these days

You’re gonna be with somebody

And I, I don’t wanna hurt no one.

Gonna let these horses run

Straight into the morning sun

And like a bullet from the gun

You'll see, yeah, I'm better off gone, yeah yeah

I'm better off gone, yeah yeah.

I'm better off gone

Better off gone
