[Verse 1]
You told me I'm an asshole
That I should go to hell
Left your key by the back door
Left me for someone else
Said I would never grow up
Said I could never slow down
I just can't thank you enough
Wish you could see me now
[Chorus]
I finally cleaned up my act
I moved into a new place
Put down that bottle of Jack
Yeah, girl I've come a long way
I took what you said to heart
When you swore I'd stay the same
Yeah, I'm a better man now
Just took a year and some change
[Verse 2]
It's been a year since I picked up a smoke
Last time that I burned down Broadway was like six months ago
That's why you won't find me crawling back to the boy that I was
You left him and so did I
And now I'm better because
Both of us told him goodbye
[Chorus]
I finally cleaned up my act
I moved into a new place
Put down that bottle of Jack
Yeah, girl I've come a long way
I took what you said to heart
When you swore I'd stay the same
Yeah, I'm a better man now
Just took a year and some change
[Bridge]
Said I would never grow up
Said I could never slow down
I thought that losing you would kill me
But instead it turned my whole life around
[Chorus]
I finally cleaned up my act
Learned from my mistakes
Picked up that bottle of Jack
And I poured that shit down the drain
I took what you said to heart
When you swore I'd stay the same
Yeah, I'm a better man now
Just took a year and some change
[Outro]
(Oh I'm a better man now)
Just took a year and some change
Ohh
Yeah, I'm a better man now
Just took a year and some change
