Drivin' Nails in My Coffin Lyrics

(Gerald Irby)

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 pass time
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you.

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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
Everytime I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Lord, I'm drivin' those nails over you.

Yeah, 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...
