I said the night you left me
Nothin' worse could ever happen
Seeing you with someone else proved that I was wrong
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 gray 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
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 gray 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 gray 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
