I'd Be Better Off In A Pine Box (1990)
I said the night you left me nothing worse could ever happen
But seeing you with someone else proved that I was wrong
And when your eyes met mine I knew that you were gone forever
Along with all the reasons I had for hanging on

I'd be better off in a pine box on a slow train back from Georgia
In a gray walls of a prison doing time
I think I’d rather die and go to hell and face the devil
Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind

I always thought someday, we might get back together
I just thought you needed time to spread your wings and fly
But when I saw the living way, you held onto each other
It was all that I could do, not to break right down and cry

I'd be better off in a pine box on a slow train back from Georgia
In a gray walls of a prison doing time
I think I’d rather die and go to hell and face the devil
Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind
