Better Off Gone

The girl's got her eyes on

Fading horizon

Here come the last line of her favorite song

It's the end of an era

She's gonna tear up that interstate

On her way to Charleston

She's gone, moving on, taking off my leather jacket

Gonna drive as far as she can tonight

Gonna sleep on the roadside

She'll know when her 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 she was too good for Kansas

She swears we'll end up together in the end

But she wouldn't have to say that

If she really thought that, the fact is

She ain't coming back again

And she's gone, moving on, taking off my leather jacket

She gonna drive as far as she can tonight

Gonna sleep on the roadside

She'll know when her 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

The 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, moving on, taking off my leather jacket

She gonna drive as far as she can tonight

Gonna sleep on the roadside

She'll know when her 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

(I know she's better off gone)

Better off, better off gone

Better off, better off gone

(She's better off)

Better off, better off gone

Better off, better off gone

(She's better off gone)

Better off, better off gone

Better off, better off gone
