I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)

I said, "The night you left me

Nothin' worse could ever happen

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

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