Doug Stone - I'd Be Better off (In a Pine Box) lyrics

rate me

I said the night you left me,

Nothin' worse could ever happen,

But seeing you with someone else proved that I was wrong.

And when your eyes met mine,

I knew that you were gone forever,

Along with all the reasons , I had for hanging on.

I'd be better off in a pine box,

On a slow train back to Georgia,

Or in the grey walls of a prison doing time.

I think I'd rather die,

And go to hell and face the devil,

Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind.

I always thought that someday,

We might get back together.

I just thought you needed time to spread your wings and fly.

But when I saw the lovin' way,

You held onto each other,

It was all that I could do, not to break right down and cry.

I'd be better off in a pine box,

On a slow train back to Georgia,

Or in the grey walls of a prison doing time.

I think I'd rather die,

And go to hell and face the devil,

Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind.

Girl I'd be better off in a pine box,

On a slow train back from Georgia,

Or in the grey walls of a prison doing time.

I think I'd rather die,

And go to hell and face the devil,

Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind.

I can't lie here with you and him together on my mind
