Lyrics

Verse 1
I woke up to his goodbye note,
Thought I’d cry, but nope.
He left with his truck and all his junk,
I just laughed and poured me a little drunk.

Took his clothes and threw ’em out,
Washed that boy right down the spout.
Thought I’d be sad, thought I’d feel low,
But honey, I was ready to let him go.

Chorus
‘Cause when he walked out, luck walked in,
Got a raise at work and a brand new friend.
Won fifty bucks on a scratch-off too,
And finally got that weekend free to cruise.
Called my girls, hit the town last night,
Feels so good to have my life back right.
Turns out the best thing he ever did
Was walkin’ out on me, yeah, that’s no fib.

Verse 2
Next day got a call from the bar downtown,
Free drinks all night ‘cause I’m single now.
My friends set me up with a country boy,
Tall, dark, handsome, and full of joy.

Got my nails done, my hair did right,
He might’ve left, but I’m feelin’ light.
It’s funny how things can turn so fast,
Turns out I’m better off, he’s in the past.

Chorus
‘Cause when he walked out, luck walked in,
Got a front-row seat at the rodeo again.
Ran into his momma, she gave me a smile,
Said, “You’re better off, he ain’t worth your while.”
Spent all his cash on a girl’s weekend,
Now I’m livin’ free, ain’t gotta pretend.
Turns out the best thing he ever did
Was walkin’ out on me, yeah, good riddance, kid.

Bridge
He thought I’d be cryin’, thought I’d be sad,
But I’m out here smilin’, livin’ like I’m glad.
Ain’t missin’ him, ain’t feelin’ blue,
Freedom’s sweet, didn’t need that fool.

Chorus
‘Cause when he walked out, luck walked in,
Won a new pair of boots and some whiskey gin.
Now I got time to do what I please,
Got my heart back and the world at my knees.
So here’s to the boys who think we need ‘em,
Turns out we’re fine, just give us freedom.
The best thing he ever did, amen,
Was walkin’ out on me—won’t see him again.

Outro
Yeah, he’s gone, and I’m feelin’ blessed,
Ain’t got no worries, ain’t got no stress.
When he walked out, I got a win,
Life’s lookin’ brighter since he walked on in.
