about

Recorded during the 1974 “Ships in the Night” sessions, "I'm Glad I'm Not Her" was ultimately chosen not to be included on the LP. The track was never released in any other form and was forgotten until recently discovered in archives. It is available for the first time on a CD issued by Real-Gone Records called "The Night the Nights Went Out in Georgia: The Complete BELL Recordings."

lyrics

He should be there by now
He said it wouldn't take long to pack
By now he must've told her
He won't be coming back
When he's emptied all his closets
And she has to watch him go
That's the kind of pain I hope
I'll never have to know

Chorus:
I'm glad I'm not her
I'd hate to be standing in her shoes
I'm glad I'm not her
'Cause he'd be awfully hard to lose
She's the one woman
In the whole wide world I wouldn't want to be
'Cause he's walking out on her
And he's running to me

He'll be moving in tonight
He's finally coming here to stay
But even when his toothbrush
And his clothes are put away
And he's held me and he's loved me
And we're drifting off to sleep
Oh, God, now that he's mine
Please make him someone I can keep

Repeat Chorus
