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
