Better Dig Two Lyrics
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
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
Put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
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
Well,
It won't be whiskey, 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
So put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
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
Ooh, ooh
I took your name when I took those vows
I meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now,
Oh, right now
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
And let the stone say:
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
I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
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
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
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
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
It won't be whiskey, 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
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
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
Ooh, ooh
I meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now,
Oh, right now
If forever ever ends for you
If that ring gets a little too tight
You might as well read me my last rites
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig, uh!
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
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead

The lead single from The Band Perry's sophomore album finds Kimberley Perry singing of her undying love for her (fictional) spouse. The song was penned by Nashville songwriters Shane McAnally and Trevor Rosen, who also co-penned Chris Young's single "Neon." also contributing was Brandy Clark, who previously teamed up with McAnally to write Miranda Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart" and David Nail's "That's How I'll Remember You." The tune was originally demoed by Kacey Musgraves.
The Band Perry officially debuted the hard-driving track when they performed it at the 46th Annual CMA Awards. Preceding the awards, the siblings spoke to on-air personalities about the tune, calling it "the ultimate love song … the kind of love not even death can separate."
It's one way to keep a promise by either killing yourself or having someone murder you if your lover goes off with someone else.
