Doug Stone - I'd Be Better Off (In A Pine Box) Lyrics






I said the night you left me
Nothin' 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 to Georgia
Or in the grey 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 that someday
We might get back together
I just thought you needed time to spread your wings and fly
But when I saw the lovin' 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 to Georgia
Or in the grey 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

Girl I'd be better off in a pine box
On a slow train back from Georgia
Or in the grey 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 can't lie here with you and him together on my mind

    Hello Mr. Doug Stone!

    Sir, rumors still abound that you had past from this life to the next!

    But according to the 'Internets' you STILL remain alive and quite well. Wow and God bless you young man!

    My family and I once saw you in concert at Murray State University, Home of the Racers, in Murray, KY. in the 1990s.

    This song of yours was one of many favorites of my late grandparents country tunes!

    It came out at the peek of their retirement years, and they truly enjoyed it.

    Well the whole family still does to this day, but we especially enjoyed my grandparents reaction whenever Pine Box would come on the local country radio here in Paducah, KY.

    God rest their souls and God bless yours my friend!

  60. s.... ....

    Every day I wake up in the morning thinking about African Americans and the trouble they cause for this great nation. This song brings me some peace and respite from the terrible mental strain.

  72. M.... B....

    In memory of my dad who passed away in March of 1990 I love you daddy and miss you love this song

    M.... B....

    are you Doug's daughter...I know his name was really Brooks.

    M.... B....

    No my dad's name was Robert

  73. T.... t....

    Doug stone love his music

  74. G.... U....

    Bring country back - stop supporting the "my truck, my beer, knockin-boots" bullshit that pretends to be country today. What this new stuff represents is the same thing that the listeners like - laziness, and dumbassed-ness. Yeah, your nephew likes the "knockin boots" stuff, but he's an idiot, and you already know that. Play him some Haggard, Jones, Nelson, and Strait. Or, as my dearly departed Dad would say "Set them Strait".

  75. d.... m....

    nevered stoped

  76. D.... R....

    Who's still listening in 2525

  77. S.... D....

    Sadly, we will never have country this good again.

  78. M.... E....

    Most Of Today's So Called Country Would Be Better Off In A Pine Box. Doug Stone Is The Real Genuine Country.

  79. B.... ....

    Such a gentleman when I spent time with him.

  80. J.... A....

    Damn good tune.

  81. C.... R....

    I have felt this way many times, from blue.

  82. _.... 4....

    This is country. THIS RIGHT HERE MAN

  83. 1.... ....

    if this song doesnt make your soul melt then you dont have one

  84. W.... B....

    Reminds me how bad I screwed up

  85. d.... m....

    damn he was good

  86. S.... ....

    jUST when I thought you were REALLY in a pine box! You helped make me 90's Doug!

  87. J.... G....

    Love this song with everything

  88. L.... B....

    I'm addicted to this song.

  89. D.... C....

    My best music boss ever! :)

  90. J.... U....

    He was my biggest crush as a kid in the 80’s and 90’s.

  91. R.... M....

    Love this song. True Country Music at its finest. Lol, I left my now husband for four months, twenty years ago and he said he listened to this song over and over, everyday. Our story is a true country music listeners story, if you knew the whole story.

  92. L.... D....

    Never stopped love it

  93. L.... S....

    A pine box or whatever. Cremation, whatever. Doesn't matter. I've lost so much in my life it's crazy. But if death wants me it's gonna have to take me. I'm not going without a fight!!!

    L.... S....

    I fought and I won ! Good for you !

  94. R.... C....
