My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely She said that she and I were thru So I started out drinkin' for pastime Drivin' Nails In My Coffin over you. I'm just Drivin' Nails In My Coffin Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of brew I'm just Drivin' Nails In My Coffin Lordy, drivin' those nails over you. Now ever since the day that she left me I've been so sad and so blue I'm always thinkin' of you, love And I just can't quit drinkin' that old brew.
