The girl's got her eyes on the fading horizon
Here come the last line of our favorite song
It's the end of an era, she's gonna tear up
That interstate on her way to Charleston
She's gone, movin' on, takin' off my leather jacket
Gonna drive as far as she can tonight
Gonna sleep on the roadside
She'll know when her hometown country station turns to static
She ain't never been that far from home
But I know she's better off gone
We all knew she was too good for Kansas
She swears we'll end up together in the end
She wouldn't have to say that if she really thought that
The fact is she ain't coming back again
She's gone, movin' on, takin' off my letter jacket
Gonna drive as far as she can tonight
Gonna sleep on the roadside
She'll know when her hometown country station turns to static
She ain't never been that far from home
But I know she's better off gone
Only good thing I ever had
Just up and gone away like that
I love her enough to not hold on
It's gonna break my heart, but I'll get along
She's better off gone
She's gone, movin' on, takin' off my letter jacket
Gonna drive as far as she can tonight
Gonna sleep on the roadside
She'll know when her hometown country station turns to static
She ain't never been that far from home
But I know she's better off gone
She better off, she better off gone
Oh, yeah
