Drivin' Nails In My Coffin

Drivin' Nails in My Coffin - Ernest Tubb

Written by：Jerry Irby

My sweetheart has gone

I'm so lonely

She said that she and I were through

So I started out drinking for past time

Drivin' nails in my coffin over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you

Ever since the day that we've parted

I've been so sad and so blue

I'm always thinking of your love

And I just can't quit drinkin' that old booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you

Now you've turned me down

You don't want me

There's nothing now I can lose

I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin

And worryin' my darlin' over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you
