[Intro]
G G
[Verse 1]
I sGaid the night you left me
Nothin’ Cworse could ever Ghappen,
But Cseeing you with Gsomeone else
GProved that I was wDrong.
And Cwhen your eyes Dmet mine, I knew
That Gyou were gone forCever,
AlGong with all the rGeasons I hDad for hanging oGn.C  
[Chorus]
I’d be Cbetter off in a pine box
On a slow train back to GGeorgia,
Or in the grey walls of a Dprison doing Ctime.
I think I’d rather Ddie and go to Ghell and face the Cdevil,
Than to Glie here with Cyou and him togBmether Amon my mGind.
[Verse 2]
I aGlways thought that someday, we Cmight get back togGether.
CI just thought you Gneeded time
To spread your wings and Dfly,
But Emwhen I saw the Cloving way you hGeld onto each oCther,
It was Gall that I could dGo, not to bDreak right down and cGry
[Chorus]
I’d be Cbetter off in a pine box
On a slow train back to GGeorgia,
Or in the grey walls of a Dprison doing Ctime.
I think I’d rather Ddie and go to Ghell and face the Cdevil,
Than to Glie here with Cyou and him togBmether Amon my mGind.
I’d be Cbetter off in a pine box
On a slow train back to GGeorgia,
Or in the grey walls of a Dprison doing Ctime.
I think I’d rather Ddie and go to Ghell and face the Cdevil,
Than to Glie here with Cyou and him togBmether Amon my mGind.
I Gcan't lie here with yCou and him togBmether Amon my mGind.

But seeing you with someone else

And when your eyes met mine, I knew

That you were gone forever,

G G D G C

Along with all the reasons I had for hanging on.

I’d be better off in a pine box

On a slow train back to Georgia,

It was all that I could do, not to break right down and cry
