I’d Be Better Off (in a Pine Box) Songtext
von Doug Stone

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
