Ernest Tubb - Drivin' Nails In My Coffin lyrics

rate me

My sweetheart has gone and I'm so lonely she said that she and I were through

So I started out drinking for past time drivin' nails in my coffin over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin everytime I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you

[ guitar ]

Now ever since the day that we've parted I've been so sad and so blue

I'm always thinking of you love and I just can't quit drinking that old booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin...

[ steel ]

Now you've turned me down you don't want me there's nothing now I can lose

I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin and worryin' my darlin' over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin...
