Better Off - Unkle Bob

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
