Better Off Gone Lyrics - Rough & Tumble - John Waite

I can see there's no easy way out 

A 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 leaving 

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 in to the morning sun 

I'm better off gone, yeah, yeah, I'm better off gone, yeah, yeah 

Out in the rhythm of the white lies 

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 in to the morning sun 

'Cause I'm better off gone, yeah, yeah, yeah 

'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 in to the morning sun 

Yeah 

And like a bullet from a gun 

You see, yeah 

I'm better off gone, yeah, yeah 

I'm better off gone, yeah, yeah 

Better off gone 

Better off gone
