Drivin' Nails In My Coffin Lyrics - Hank Thompson

My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely 

He said that he and I were through 

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 

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 

Every time I drink a bottle of booze 

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin 

Drivin' those nails over you 

You turned me down, you don't want me 

There's nothin' now I can loose 

I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin 

And worryin', my darlin', 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 

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 

Yes, I'm drivin' those nails over you
