[Verse 1]
My sweetheart is gone, and I'm so loney
I've been so sad and so blue
I started out drinking for pa**time
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you
[Chorus]
I been driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Ever since the day that we parted
I've been so sad and so blue
I started out drinking for pa**time
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you
[Chorus]
I been driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
And you done me wrong, you don't want me
There'se nothing now that I can lose
I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin
And worrying, my darlin', over you
[Chorus]
I been driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you
Oh, drive on!
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I been driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you
[Outro]
Yes I'm drivin' those nails over you
