"Better Off Gone" lyrics

I see myself in you
Watched you fight the battles thousand men, or no one could do
Missed you in the winters when you never came home
Remember days of feeling bitter, wished you better gone
It's all just part of the journey on yellow brick roads, a helluva' ghost
I stopeed the thought of you and promises and veiled with the jokes
Forget it all, 'cause when you call I guess it's better than most
The simple talks about missing dogs could keep me settled and cozy, oh

I hate to think it makes you nauseous
All the things I do, just being honest (Hm)
Miss the days with James inside the rocket
All the space when I became a pilot
Rainy days in autmn
Never would've thought it
Your loving came with problems
I'm guessing that you caught it
Better come home
I see you lurking, looking, longing
I'll see you when you make it
You were never good at calling, well

Is it too late to ask the preacher man to save my soul?
I mean I never knew where I'd go
Send my momma home to rest my bones
I mean, to rest my ghost
I came way too far on my own (Tch)
Too late to ask the preacher man to save my soul?
I been waiting way too long
When I'm coming home I hope I see you there, yeah
I hope I see you

And I'm better off gone, I'm better off gone, I'm better off gone
And I'm better off gone, I'm better off gone, I'm better off gone
And I'm better off gone, I'm better off gone, I'm better off gone
