I Got Better Lyrics

[Verse 1] Everything's still pretty much the same 'round here Neighbors still shootin' all of next year's deer Boys still lose 'less they're playin' 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 [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" See Morgan Wallen Live Get tickets as low as $232 You might also like I’m The Problem Morgan Wallen Crazy Eyes Morgan Wallen Come Back As A Redneck Morgan Wallen [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 you got gone [Bridge] And I ain't sayin' 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
