Everything's still pretty much the same 'round here
Neighbors still shooting all of next year's deer
Boys still lose 'less they're playing at home
But I 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

Swear it was like I'll be damned
I'm finally back to being 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 telling 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

For a little while there you had me convinced
That my mama was the devil, now we're talking again
My friends you hated ain't said one word
Besides, "You got better since you lost her"

Swear it was like I'll be damned
I'm finally back to being 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 telling 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

Ah, baby, since you got gone

And I ain't saying you're the sleep that I lost
But I never slept this good before
I ain't saying you're the weight on my back
I'm just saying that it ain't there no more

I'll be damned
I'm finally back to being 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 telling 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
