Randy Travis Album: Live: It Was Just a Matter of Time Track: The Hole
The Hole Lyrics
A friend of mine bought himself a shovel Said, I'm gonna tunnel me a mine He set out to be a rich man Happiness is what he thought he'd find Got in too deep to see the diamonds Down too dark to see the gold Now he won't let go of the shovel And he can't dig out of the hole
Deeper and deeper he's goin' down Driving his future Right into the ground He thinks he's closer The further he goes But he's still on the bottom And he can't dig out of the hole
I tried to throw the man a lifeline I tried to send him down a rope I don't think he hears me calling But every day I pray and I hope Somehow he finally gets the message Every spade of dirt he throws Only gets him close to the devil And he can't dig out of the hole
Deeper and deeper he's goin' down Driving his future Right into the ground He thinks he's closer The further he goes But he's still on the bottom And he can't dig out of the hole
--- Instrumental ---
Maybe we could learn a little lesson Maybe this'll shine a little light There's no healthy way to mess with THe line between wrong and right Use the one chance you've been given 'Cause once you're in the ground and cold It's too late to start livin' You see you can't dig out of the hole
Deeper and deeper he's goin' down Driving his future Right into the ground He thinks he's closer The further he goes But he's still on the bottom And he can't dig out of the hole
It's Hell on the bottom And you can't dig out of the hole...
