Emmylou Harris

Room 16 the Palms Motel
Now I can rest behind the door
My life with you's become a living hell
Don't wanna live like than no more
And whatever it will take
I will do to make this final break
Yeah better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you in my life
So I'll unpack my bags
And kick off these old shoes
This room is as good as anyplace I've ever been
For lookin at the truth
Now it's all so clear to me
What a blind man could plainly see
Yeah better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you in my life
Oh God here comes the tears
I'm gonna stay right here
I'll cry I've cried away
But I won't go back no more
SOLO
Looks like a change in the weather
I can hear it start to rain
I hope it's not too long this time
Before the sun comes out again
But if it rains forever
I will still be better off
Yeah better off without you
Better off without you
Better off without you in my life
