I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t ever shine
Than to be in some big city
In a small room with her on my mind

So blow your whistle freight train
Take me further on down the track
I’m going away I’m leaving today
I’m going but I ain’t coming back

I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t ever shine
Than to be home alone just knowing that you’re gone
It would cause me to lose my mind

[1] I’d rather be in [5] some dark [1] hollow
Where the sun don’t [4] ever [1] shine
Than to be in [1⁷] some big [4] city
In a [1] small room with [5] her on my [1] mind

So blow your whistle freight train
Take me further on down the track
I’m going away I’m leaving today
I’m going but I ain’t coming back

I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t ever shine
Than to be home alone just knowing that you’re gone
It would cause me to lose my mind
