I Got Better Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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've 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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"

[Chorus]

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 since you got gone

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
