i'd be better off (in a pine box)

Singer: doug stone

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
