THE GOOD THING ABOUT YOU BEING GONE
IS I CAN WATCH THE GAME ALL DAY LONG
AND I CAN STRETCH MY LEGS OUT IN THE BED
EXTRA PILLOW UNDERNEATH MY HEAD
DON'T KNOW WHY NOBODY TOLD ME
ABOUT THE UPSIDE OF LONELY
I'VE GFOT A LOT MORE ROOM FOR MY STUFF
AND I ONLY HAVE TO WASH ONE CUP
I CAN STAY UP LATE AND PLAY MY GUITAR
AND THE GROCERIES GO TWICE AS FAR
DON'T KNOW WHY NOBODY TOLD ME
ABOUT THE UPSIDE OF LONELY
YOUR GIRLFRIENDS AIN'T RINGING THE PHONE OFF THE WALL
AND I NEVER HAVE TO HEAR FROM THAT MOTHER IN LAW
I AIN'T CUT THE GRASS SINCE THE MIDDLE OF JUNE
I SMOKE A BIG CIGAR UP IN MY LIVING ROOM
DON'T KNOW WHY NOBODY EVER TOLD ME
ABOUT THE UPSIDE OF LONELY
I DROP MY DIRTY CLOTHES RIGHT IN THE FLORR
I LET THE TRASH PILE UP BY THE DOOR
I EAT PIZZA AND CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM THREE TIMES A DAY
CAUSE I AIN'T WORRIED NOW ABOUT WATCHING MY WEIGHT
DON'T KNOW WHY NOBODY EVER TOLD ME
ABOUT THE UPSIDE OF LONELY
