Id Be Better Off In A Pine Box Tab

by Doug Stone


Verse #1


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


Chorus:

       
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.


Verse #2

   
                                               
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 loving way you held onto each other,
                                                      
It was all that I could do, not to break right down and cry


Repeat Chorus 2x’s

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