"Better Alone" lyrics

It was good and great and grandful
They were all out on a limb
It was rusted from the rainfall
It was good to have that again
I'm tired of being gone
But I been home all year

Couldn't tell you how to do it
I can show ya how to not
Yeah, once I get to movin'
Hard for me to stop
Am I better alone
Than when I got you right here

Yeah I can't see the city
Can't see the crowded streets
It's easy on the mind while
The pine trees don't have leaves
And I'm betting you won't
Let me have you right here

I've seen the mountains high above
And the valleys down below
Where big and bad were built to last
And brave men never go
But I'd lay it all down babe
Just to have you right here
Am I better alone
When I got you right here

Am I better off diving in to that spirit of a hair-brained wind
Time slips across your skin, settles in my bones

Yeah, the day is gettin' darker
And I'm losing more than light
Everything I've ever known
Is all so black and white
Never said that I loved you
Need you right here

So I'll write you one more letter
I'll sing you one more song
I'm used to being useless
But the best at being wrong
I've never been better
Than when I got you right here

But I'm better alone
Than when I got you right here
Am I better alone
Than when I got you right here
Am I better alone
Than when I got you right here

Am I better alone

It was good and great and grandful
They were all out on a limb
It was rusted from the rainfall
It was good to have that again
I'm tired of being gone
But I been home all year
