Discover the story of the song > In Hell I’ll Be in Good Company – The Dead South

The song is about a man who is leaving his partner ('dead love') and is proud of it but also feels disgusted at what they went through together. He's been hurt by her ('push shove, a little bruised and battered') and tells her that he's not going home with her. He mentions a bloody fight with a knife, and talks about his love interest ('red head, queen bee') who he's counting down the rounds to be with, even if it means going to hell.
