Tyler Braden - Better Off (Lyric Video)

Tyler Braden - Better Off (Lyric Video)
If ever there was a country artist ready to set the world on fire, it would have to be Tyler Braden. He has the gritty powerhouse vocal, the expressive pen and the ability to deliver a lyric with complete conviction worthy of a headliner. Braden grew up in Slapout, Alabama just miles from the graveyard memorial to Hank Williams. With parents who fostered an early appreciation for country music, guitar-playing songwriters populating the airwaves and a group of rock-loving friends by his side, he spent much of his life blending natural influences to craft a sound of his own. His early twenties saw him playing local shows and touring the southeast while serving as a first responder in Montgomery. A gig in Music City inspired a move north, and Braden continued firefighting in the suburbs of Nashville while preparing to take his music career to the next level. His first date at the homegrown Whiskey Jam concert series in January 2017 paved his path to today. With nearly 30 million streams already to his name and a growing list of major tour credits, he introduced himself to world as a major label recording artist this spring with his take on NEEDTOBREATHE hit “Brother.” Praised for his “commanding delivery” (MusicRow), Braden offered the song as a tribute to his first responder family and all those fighting on the frontlines during the pandemic. This summer he offered words from his own pen in his first original Warner Music Nashville release “Love Is A Dead End Road” (Braden, Chase Rice, Brock Berryhill) and most recently shared his solo-written reflection on a small town, “Secret.”
LYRICS:
I feel better on a barstool
Drinking my way
Through a bottle of something
You never let me drink
I feel better on a Friday night
Bettin' on a five round fight
I feel better on the west coast
With a couple of friends
Gettin' my mind off what could've been
And how so good got so gone
But what if I got it all wrong?
And what if I was better off 'til I tore out of your driveway?
Broken by those second thoughts when I hit it for that highway
What if I realize that I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do?
If it turns out I was better off with you
What if I called you
And you didn't pick up?
What if I was sorry?
But it wasn't enough
What if I do whatever it takes?
What if it's too late?
What if I was better off 'til I tore out of your driveway?
Broken by those second thoughts when I hit it for that highway
What if I realize that I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do?
If it turns out I was better off with you
What if I was better off 'til I tore out of your driveway?
Broken by those second thoughts when I hit it for that highway
What if I realize that I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do?
If it turns out I was better off with you
Wrapped up in my arms
Holding onto
Your hand, it turns out
I was better off with you
I was better off with you
