[Verse 1]
The good thing about you being gone
I can watch the game all day long
I can stretch my legs out in the bed
Extra pillows underneath my head

[Chorus]
Don't why nobody told me about the upside of lonely

[Verse 2]
I got 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

[Chorus]
Don't why nobody told me about the upside of lonely

[Verse 3]
Your girlfriends ain't ringing the phone off the wall
And I never have to hear from the mother in law
I ain't cut the grass since the middle of june
I smoke a big cigar right up in my living room

[Chorus]
Don't why nobody told me about the upside of lonely
[Verse 4]
I drop my dirty clothes on the floor
I let the trash pile up by the door
I eat pizza three times a day
I ain't worried ‘bout watching my weight

[Chorus]
Don't why nobody told me about the upside of lonely
