Better Off Lyrics by Mike Tramp

Trampthology

1997

Shot gun blast from a young man's past
Couldn't take no more
Had to even the score
Old man dies with the truth he denies
He won't harm no one
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
Woah, woah, yeah
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
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
Yeah, 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
She's a loser
What a loser
Such a loser
Yeah, yeah, yeah
