BETTER OFF ALONE

 

I've been searching, I've been searching a long time

Oh I've tried to feel a home down under my shoes

We've been drifting, we've been driving a long time

Freedom only finds you when there's nothing to lose

 

Skies are clear, they're dry as a bone

As the road becomes my home

I don't fear the great unknown

Oh, I'm used to being on my own

The ship has sailed, the bird has flown

No more future set in stone

And as the record's always shown

Oh, I'm probably better off alone

 

I’ve been pushing, I’ve been pushing a long time

Trying to keep these empty days from dragging me down

We’ve been breaking, we’ve been breaking a long time

Oh, this wishing well has kept me under the ground

 

Skies are clear, they're dry as a bone

As the road becomes my home

I don't fear the great unknown

Oh, I'm used to being on my own

The ship has sailed, the bird has flown

No more future set in stone

And as the record's always shown

Oh, I'm probably better off alone

 

Don’t come here crying when it all comes falling down

No use for flying when you’re tongue-tied to the ground

Sweet hesitation, sweet emancipation

No, you won’t see me crawling backwards

 

Skies are clear, they're dry as a bone

As the road becomes my home

I don't fear the great unknown

Oh, I'm used to being on my own

The ship has sailed, the bird has flown

No more future set in stone

And as the record's always shown

Oh, I'm probably better off alone
