"I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)" is a debut song written by Johnny MacRae and Steve Clark, and recorded by American country music artist Doug Stone.

In this song, the narrator describes the anguish he feels knowing that the woman who left him has found love with another man and will never come back to him.

The video features Stone singing the song in a motel room, with him hitchhiking for a ride.

As Stone walks away, the woman takes a glance at him as the limo that she and her new husband is in leaves the church.

Brian Mansfield of Allmusic praised the song by calling it "a towering expression of self-pity that most singers could spend a career trying to top".
