You Aint Worth Me Sweatin Over No Grave

You damn sure aint worth me sweatin over no grave She sat patiently draggin off her cigarrette she thought over and over about the words he said She remembered the sound of the zipper closing on his pants The smell in the air as he heated up his glass You stupid ***** don’t you know that I love you You god damn whore don’t you know that I would die for you I’ll kill you if you ever try to leave me again Draggin off her cigarette , a shotgun by her side Its now, just a matter of time Just a matter of time…before she sends him straight to hell His keys jiggled in the door, she smelled whiskey before his boots touched the floor One look into his iodine red eyes, a shotgun blast rang all thru them hollar pines You stupid bastard don’t you know that I tried to love you You dumb son of a ***** I nearly died cause of it But now I’m free to leave any time that I please She dragged his body out into the cold and there she let it lay She said to herself, dear God just let mother- nature have her way Cause you damn sure ain’t worth me sweatin over no grave
