Premiere Video: The Band Perry ‘Better Dig Two’

The Band Perry-- two brothers and sister trio--has had some great musical influences growing up. On their website Kimberly Perry is quoted as saying, 'Daddy rocked us to sleep with the Rolling Stones; Momma woke us up with Loretta Lynn. So we get it honest.'

As you know, The Band Perry has released some great songs: 'If I Die Young', 'You Lie', 'All your Life', and now their latest chart climber comes with a video premiere released today--'Better Dig Two.'

Lyrically, a wife speaks fair warning to her husband that it would be in his best interest to remain monogamous.

Musically, it has a haunting rhythm that leads you to the precipice of something that could potentially go terribly wrong. It's perfect.

Watch the video. I posted the lyrics for you to sing along with. Leave a comment or two.

Better Dig Two

I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you till I’s dead
Made you wait till our weddin’ night
That’s the first and the last time I’ll wear white
*huff*
So if the ties of bond ever do come loose
Tie ‘em 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

Chorus
Put me in the ground
And 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 grave digger that he better dig two!

Well it won’t be whiskey
It won’t be meth
It will be your name on my last breath
If the voice of death ever do us part
The coroner will call it a broken heart

Chorus
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 a little too much
If you go before I do
I’m gonna tell the grave digger that he better dig two
Dig two

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 of bond 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 rights

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 grave digger that he better dig

Put your stone right next to mine
We’ll be together till the end of time
Don’t you go before I do
Gonna tell the grave digger that he better dig two

I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you till I’s dead.
