Smarter Than I Was

Wind is howling
 I'm all alone
 Sitting by the fire
 But I can't get warmer
 Been 9 cold nights
 She ain't coming home
 She took my soul to the darker side
 But halfway there
 I done got wise
 9 cold nights
 Time to say goodbye
 I guess my best
 Just wasn't good enough
 I may not look it
 But I'm smarter than I was
 Dogs are barking
 In the midnight rain
 Thunder and lightning
 To know this pain
 9 cold nights
 But tonight it's gonna change
 I guess my best
 Just wasn't good enough
 I may not look it
 But I'm smarter than I was
 Burn them memories
 Like gasoline
 It's time I learned
 To wipe it clean
 Tonight your mine
 No longer haunting me
 I guess my best
 Just wasn't good enough
 I may not look it
 But I'm smarter than I was
 I may not look it
 But I'm much smarter than I was
