better off with the blues

since you been gone i've had time to myself

haven't even tried to find somebody else

when you told me you were leavin' it almost came as good news

it may sound funny but it's true

i think i'm better off with the blues

now i must admit that i miss you sometimes

not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind

but at the same time i think of all the hell you put me through

yeah

it's the lesser of two evils

i think i'm better off with the blues

i know some day i'll wake up and this blues will be gone

i'll forget about you and how everything went wrong

but if you hadda stayed i'd be dead in my tracks

now

i still love you

baby

but i don't want you back

tonight i'm gonna go down to the sad side of town

listen to 'em play the blues when the sun goes down

and i know just what to say when someone asks about you

i'll say

yeah

we had our good times

but i think i'm better off with the blues

yeah

if i had to say

i say i'm better off with the blues
