Better Off - Mike Tramp

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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
