Rhonda Vincent Lyrics
"Drivin' Nails in My Coffin"

My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely
He said that he and I were through
So 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.

--- Instrumental ---

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
Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you.

--- Instrumental ---

You turned me down, you don't want me
There's nothin' now I can lose
I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin
An' worryin', my darlin', over you.

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Ev'ry 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...
