Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Dead love couldn't go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push, shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord, I ain't coming home with you

[Verse 2]
My life's a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don't know what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]
I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee
My squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell's bells, miss-spells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I'll be in good company

[Verse 3]
Dead Love couldn't go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord I ain't coming home with you
[Verse 4]
My life's a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don't know what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]
I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee, my squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell's bells, misspells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I'll be in good company

[Outro]
In hell I'll be in Good Company

[AmericasTeamAdventure]

4 people and two instruments. Music at its finest.

[JoeJr]

This song never gets old no matter how many time I hear it

[uNkLeRaRa]

Ok, playing a cello like a bass while whistling might be the most impressive thing I've seen in quite a while

[lauriemathews]

The Grand Old Opry--You can't do no better than that, guys!!! Congrats on getting to sing at the Opry!!!!

[tulyar]

As the years go by this song and the Dead South's live performances of it just get better and better.

[chestermulhaven]

I’ve been playing songs for my elderly dad for years trying to get him to like one. This was it, he listens to you constantly now

[Grant_Amadeus]

Imagine a world where audiences actually clapped in time with musicians. Certainly in such a perfect world we would have peace.

[umareyousure]

Finally a band that sounds just as good in person as on record

It looked like these guys were truly humbled playing at The Opry...Congratulations, Y'all made everyone proud...

[robertorayo]

Its amazing. They sounds "live" exactly like on clip - no autotune, no fake, no plastic sounds....

[jeroberts]

Wow... I'm so thrilled for all of you, bein' on stage at the Grand Ole Opry - congratulations! Job well done, by the way!

[demadnutter]

I watched the guys at a venue in Sydney last year and the place was absolutely rocking. How these people could just sit in their seats I've no idea..

[turdferguson]

He’s the only person I’ve ever seen that picks a cello, but it’s freaking awesome.

[davidheater]

Absolutely love this! No flash, no 20 back up dancers etc. Just 4 guys getting after it at the Grand Ole Opera.

That second harmony by Scott Pringle is just sick! Such a fantastic song guys!
