(tom shapiro/terri clark/chris waters)

Don't tell me the reason that you're calling
Is to see if i'm all right since you've been gone
'cause i know you and i know why we're talking
You're wanting me to say i'm barely hanging on
Well, maybe that was true for a night or two
But now, i got better things to do

Chrous:
I could wash my car in the rain
Change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as i did yesterday
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do

Maybe when i don't have so much going
Or quite so many irons in the fire
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping
But now, i can't put forth the effort it requires
Well, i'd love to talk to you, but then, i'd miss donahue
That's right, i got better things to do

(repeat chorus)

Check the air in my tires
Straighten my stereo wires
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
I got better things to do
