Darlin’ after you left I got that promotion   They transferred me out to La Joya right on the ocean   And now I’m makin’ more money than I can spend   I’ve got a house on the beach and a bunch of new friends   Oh you oughta hear what they say   Tellin’ me that I’ve got it made But?   Chorus   I’ve been better   Yeah I miss those times when we were still together   Right now lookin’ back I don’t think the past has ever been so clear   And I realize sittin’ here as I write this letter   Oh I’ve been better.   I’ve been seein’ a girl that I met out in Spring Valley   She’s havin’ the time of her life least that’s what she tells me   She say it’s love and to tell you the truth   I’ve tried my best to feel that way too   Oh but I always realize when I look into her eyes that?   Chorus   Oh I’ve been better
