I thought I’d have to have a drink or two to get me started
And I guess that’s how I ended up in here
But it doesn’t do me no good
Watching couples on the hardwood
Holding on tight and kicking up the dust
They’re just kicking up old memories of us

CHORUS
If I’m ever going to move on with my life without her
I’ve got to be in a better place
Not a smoky neon night spot
A flood of memories in each shot
And thinking that I might not see better days
I’ve got to be in a better place

The better part of half my life that we spent together
Feels wasted with it all falling apart
And there’s nothing quite as lonely
As the times when I’m the only one
In a 1/2 empty house in a king size bed
With the sound of silence blaring in my head

CHORUS
If I’m ever going to move on with my life without her
I’ve got to be in a better place
Not the one she put behind her
Where everywhere I look, I find her
And there’s a constant reminder of better days
I’ve got to be in a better place

I don’t need a long vacation
to some scenic destination
I just need to find a way that I can breathe
without the weight of her memory on me

CHORUS
If I’m ever going to move on with my life without her
I’ve got to be in a better place
Where I finally got my head right
And I can make it through the whole night
Without some knock down drag out fight with yesterday
If I’m ever going to get myself together
I’ve got to be in a better place
