Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You took your clothes and your makeup
And that old suitcase of yours
Said you needed a new beginning
And I needed something more
Well, I stood there in the driveway
And watched you disappear
Then I went back inside
And opened up a beer
I figured I’d be hurting
I’d be missing you like crazy
But something kinda funny happened
When you stopped calling me, baby
I slept until I wanted to
I started staying out late
And that little voice inside my head
Said, “Boy, you just got saved”
[Chorus]
I’m better off since you’re gone
Got my freedom back
Got the radio turned up
And a six-pack in the back
Ain’t nobody asking
Where I’ve been all night
Ain’t nobody starting
Some damn two-hour fight
Yeah, you thought I’d be lonely
Sitting home all alone
But I’m laughing more than I have
Since the day that you were gone
You said I’d never make it
Well, honey, you were wrong
I’m doing pretty damn good
Better off since you’re gone
[Verse 2]
I don’t have to eat at places
That I can’t afford to eat
I don’t have to watch those movies
That put me straight to sleep
My buddies started calling
Said, “Man, where the hell you been?”
I said, “I’ve been busy living
You know, having fun again”
I bought myself a fishing boat
Put new tires on my truck
And I’ve got enough money now
To actually fill it up
There’s a blonde down at the tavern
Who’s been smiling my way
And for the first time in a long time
I ain’t scared to smile back her way
[Chorus]
I’m better off since you’re gone
Got my freedom back
Got the radio turned up
And a six-pack in the back
Ain’t nobody asking
Where I’ve been all night
Ain’t nobody starting
Some damn two-hour fight
Yeah, you thought I’d be lonely
Sitting home all alone
But I’m laughing more than I have
Since the day that you were gone
You said I’d never make it
Well, honey, you were wrong
I’m doing pretty damn good
Better off since you’re gone
[Bridge]
Now I ain’t saying I don’t thank you
For the good times that we had
But looking back on what we had
It wasn’t all that bad…
It was worse than I remembered
And better than I knew
’Cause losing you was painful
But finding me was overdue
[Final Chorus]
I’m better off since you’re gone
And I’m finally free
Got a whole lot more money
And a whole lot less misery
Got my old friends back
Got my weekends back
Got my dog back on the bed
And my truck back on the track
You can keep your “I’ll miss you”
You can keep your sad goodbye
‘Cause I ain’t losing any sleep
Wondering why you had to fly
You thought you’d leave me broken
But girl, look what you done—
You didn’t break my heart…
You just set it free to run.
[Outro]
So here’s to you, wherever you are
Hope you’re doing fine…
Me? I’m doing better
Since you crossed that county line.

Very ’90s country: twangy guitar, honky-tonk, a little sarcasm, and a chorus people can shout along with.
