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
