Better Dig Two Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
Made you wait 'til our wedding night
That's the first and the last time I wear white
[Verse 2]
So if the ties that bind ever do come loose
Tie them in a knot like a hangman's noose
'Cause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hell
Before I'll see you with someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
[Chorus]
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
[Verse 3]
Well
It won't be whiskey, it won't be meth
It'll be your name on my last breath
If divorce or death ever do us part
The coroner will call it a broken heart
I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
Made you wait 'til our wedding night
That's the first and the last time I wear white
[Verse 2]
So if the ties that bind ever do come loose
Tie them in a knot like a hangman's noose
'Cause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hell
Before I'll see you with someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
[Chorus]
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
[Verse 3]
Well
It won't be whiskey, it won't be meth
It'll be your name on my last breath
If divorce or death ever do us part
The coroner will call it a broken heart
[Pre-Chorus]
So put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
[Chorus]
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
Dig two
[Bridge]
I took your name when I took those vows
I meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now
Oh, right now
[Verse 4]
If the ties that bind ever do come loose
If forever ever ends for you
If that ring gets a little too tight
You might as well read me my last rites
[Pre-Chorus]
And let the stone say:
So put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
[Chorus]
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
Dig two
[Bridge]
I took your name when I took those vows
I meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now
Oh, right now
[Verse 4]
If the ties that bind ever do come loose
If forever ever ends for you
If that ring gets a little too tight
You might as well read me my last rites
[Pre-Chorus]
And let the stone say:
[Chorus]
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig, uh!
There'll be a stone right next to mine
We'll be together 'til the end of time
Don't you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
[Outro]
I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig, uh!
There'll be a stone right next to mine
We'll be together 'til the end of time
Don't you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two
[Outro]
I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
