lyrics

I still can see my mother’s face
When my dad walked out that door
He said he had to hit the road
Couldn’t take them brats no more
I can’t forget how small I felt
As I watched him drive away
It was one more nail in my coffin
but one less day of pain

I grew up fast and turned to crime
to keep from being poor
The judge, he couldn’t empathize
when I robbed that liquor store
Seven years inside a cell
about drove me insane
One more nail in my coffin
but one less day of pain

One more nail in my coffin
One foot in the grave
One last shot at redemption
One lost soul to save

I found myself a pretty girl
who could help me turn the page
Until I came home drunk one night
and hit her in a rage
She walked away without a word
as I hung my head in shame
One more nail in my coffin
but one less day of pain

One more nail in my coffin
One foot in the grave
One less chance for heartache
One less soul to save

I got a job that paid me well
collecting gambling debts
But when a client pulled a knife,
I shot that man to death
The angry jury told the judge,
“We must remove this stain”
One more nail in my coffin
but one less day of pain

Tomorrow when the sun comes up,
they’ll stick a needle in my vein
One more nail in my coffin
But one less day of pain
One more nail in my coffin
but one less day of pain
