Better Off Alone

Chorus

Used to have a naked blonde

sleeping by my side

now she's gone

I sleep alone

with all the covers

and the entire bed to myself

but it's alright

I'm Better Off Alone

 

Verse1

Had a day off

to myself

decided to go out west

walked into a little bar

there she was

having a drink

by herself

 

Bridge

I should've known better

but I couldn't resist

I just wanted to make her mine

I should've left her alone

but I just had to know

what was on her mind

and in her heart

I just wanted her

to turn her tricks and leave

but she wouldn't let me go

found out she was crazy

I wish I had known

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Verse2

She loved like no other

she took me for a ride

she took me to a place

I never thought I'd go

then we fell asleep

from then on I don't know

 

(solo)

 

Verse3

I woke up the next morning

just before sun rise

got my clothes on

and tip toed out the door

hopped on my Harley

got on down the road

 

Verse4

Now let this be a lesson to you

don't follow where I go

don't take that walk on the wild side

if you can't handle it

I've walked the line

paid my dues

but I'm asking you

not to do the things I do

but if you ever go out west

just know this

 

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Ok. Before anyone gets any ideas. This has not happened. I was on Instagram looking at some pics of a certain adult film star and the words just popped in my mind. What dude hasn't dreampt of being with a beautiful woman and and riding a Harley? My thoughts exactly. I've spent plenty of time on the wild side. Thankfully I don't do things like this anymore. But it was fun while it lasted. I have many regrets, but I don't ever intend on reliving the past or living in the past. Been there. Done that. Now I have a daughter. I'm single. I don't drink anymore. But I still play and write music. I'm just as fun now as I ever was. I don't need drugs or alcohol to have a good time. My daughter keeps telling me I need a girlfriend.

inspiration for your song titles

hey, just curious; on your title to "better off alone" and "morning light" were you listening to Smile Empty Soul's album "Vultures"? 'cause they have 2 tracks with the same title on that album. Cheers dude.
