Some Dark Holler
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be here alone knowing you're gone
While I slowly lose my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be in some big city
In a small room with your love on my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be here alone knowing you're gone
As I slowly lose my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'm going and I ain't coming back
Yes, I'm going and I ain't coming back
