[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
