Discover the story of the song > Better Things To Do – Terri clark

The song is about a woman who receives a call from her ex-partner checking if she's okay and hoping for her to say that she's struggling without him. However, the woman tells him that she's got better things to do than to waste her time crying over him, such as washing her car in the rain, changing her guitar strings, and mowing the lawn. She suggests that maybe one day when she's less busy, she might take the time to miss him, but for now, she's moving on with her life and not looking back.
