I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin everytime I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you My sweetheart has gone and 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... [ guitar ] 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 stop drinkin' that old booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin... Yeah I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin...
