How About You
Dry County Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Acting single
Drinkin' doubles
I'm gettin' myself
Into loads of trouble
I'm wonderin' what she'd say
If she'd seen me here
She got the ring
I got the finger
An empty house
And half a bottle liquor
She hears I'm wasting away
Between the music and the beer

But now I'm hopin' that you come my way
A final time so you can hear me say
That...

You were wrong
(Well you're wrong)
Yeah I'm happy that you're gone
(So long)
'Cause I'm right where I belong
Movin' on so lets call it a truce
Oh I've never been better not together
So how about you?

So what's the deal?
How ya feelin'?
I hope you found that
Something worth believin'
And findin' your little world
That's just right for you
I know you're thinkin'
I'm in denial
It's not a bender
Baby it's a lifestyle
And the smile on my face
Should be the only proof
For you

But now I'm hoping that you come my way
A final time so you can hear me say
That...

You were wrong
(Well you're wrong)
Yeah I'm happy that you're gone
(So long)
And I'm right where I belong
Movin' on so lets call it a truce
Oh I've never been better not together
So how about you?

Oh I hope to see
That you're doin' better
And forgot about me
'Cause life can get you
When you got a little
Room to breathe

~Hi it's me. Just decided to give you a call, see how you were doing. Some
Of my friends said you weren't doing so well... So if you're up to it maybe
Later on give me a shout maybe we can go out for drinks... See ya...
Heeheehee~

'Cause you were wrong!
I'm happy that you're gone
'Cause I'm right where I belong
Movin' on so lets call it a truce
Oh I've never been better not together...
I ain't never been better not together...
I ain't never been better not together...
So how about you?

Yeah how about you?
Oh how about you?
Yeah how about you?
The buzz is better with you gone!
The buzz is better with you gone!




The buzz is better with you gone!
Hey yeah how about you?
