I’d Be Better Off In a Pine Box by Doug Stone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I said the night you left me nothin' worse could ever happen
But seein' you with someone else proved that I was wrong
And when your eyes met mine I knew you were gone forever
Along with all the reasons I had for hangin' on

[Chorus]
Well, I'd be better off in a pine box on a slow train back to Georgia
Or in the gray walls of a prison doin' time
And 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

[Verse 2]
Well, 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

[Chorus]
Well, I'd be better off in a pine box on a slow train back to Georgia
Or in the gray walls of a prison doin' time
And 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
Well, girl, I'd be better off in a pine box on a slow train back to Georgia
Or in the gray walls of a prison doin' 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
[Outro]
I can't lie here with you and him together on my mind
