He said that he and I were through

I started out drinkin’ to pass time

Drivin nails in my coffin over you

Chorus:

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

Chorus:

I’m just drivin’ nails in my coffin…

You 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

Chorus:

I’m just drivin’ nails in my coffin…

Repeat chorus:
