Better Off Lyrics

Listen in realaudio Shot gun blast from a young mans past Couldn't take no more Had to even the score Old man dies with the truth he denies He won't harm noone Not his only son Standing with the gun on his shoulder Never thought he'd live to be older Is he better off now That his father is dead Ever since a boy he's been trying to forget Mama never was what a mother should be But a loser Such a loser Jumped on his bike he would ride all night Run away from it all Leave the nightmare behind Wake in the morning in a brand new place Where the people he'd meet Didn't know his face He don't really know where he's going And he can't forget where he's been Is he better off now That his father is dead Ever since a boy he's been trying to forget Mama never was what a mother should be But a loser Such a loser Fly on your wings Up to the sky Only your dreams can heal you Away from the dark Into the light Now you can see the real you Standing with your life on your shoulders Never thought you'd live to be older
