Drivin` Nails In My Coffin Lyrics

My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely

He said that he and I were through

I started out drinkin' for pastime

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

Drivin' those nails over you



Ever since the day that we parted

I've been so sad and so blue

I'm always thinkin' of you, 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

Drivin' those nails over you



You turned me down, you don't want me

There's nothin' now I can loose

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

Drivin' those nails 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

Drivin' those nails over you

Yes, I'm drivin' those nails over you
