Ah, she couldn't stand me anymore
So she just took the kids and went
You see I got a drinking problem
All the money that we had I spent
And now I must die by my own hand
'Cause I'm not man enough to live alone
And she's better off without me
And I'm better off dead now that she's gone
She gave the most and took the least
She even had the priest come to our home
And I cried and prayed and promised God
That I'd leave the stuff alone
And now I must die by my own hand
'Cause I'm not man enough to live alone
And she's better off without me
And I'm better off dead now that she's gone
Yes
Now that she's gone
Now that she's gone
Oh, she used to call up her friends and cry
Then the man cut off the telephone
And she'd sit and cry, meanwhile I
Went out and pawned the things we owned, yeah
And now I must die by my own hand
'Cause I'm not man enough to live alone
And she's better off without me
And I'm better off dead now that she's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I said I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I said I'm better off dead, y'all
I'm better off dead
I said I'm better off dead, y'all
Now that she's gone
I said I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I said I'm better off dead, y'all
Won't leave the stuff alone
Leave the stuff alone
I'm better off dead
I said I'm better off dead
Now that she's gone
Now that she's gone
Better off dead
Now that she's gone
Better off dead
Now that she's gone
Said I'm better off dead
Now that she's gone
I'm better off dead, y'all
Now that she's gone, gone, gone, gone
Better off dead
Now that she's gone
I said I'm better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
Better off dead
