The Hole
By Randy Travis
Intro:F C Bb F
F
A friend of mine bought himself a shovel
C
Said Iâm gonna tunnel me a mine
He set out to be a rich man
C7 F
Happiness is what he thought heâd fine
Got in to deep to see the diamond
C
Down to dark to see the gold
Bb F
Now he wonât let go of the shovel
C F
And he canât dig out of the hole
Chorus:
Bb F
Deeper and deeper heâs going down
Bb F G C
Driving his future right into the ground
Bb F Bb F
He thinks heâs closer the further he goes
Bb F
But heâs still on the bottom
C
And he canât dig out of the hole
F
I tried to throw the man a life line
C
I tried to send him down a rope
I donât think he hears me calling
C7 F
But everyday I pray and hope
F
Somehow he finally gets the message
C
Every spade of dirt he throws
Bb F
Only gets him closer to the devil
C F
And he canât dig out of the hole
repeat chorus:
F
Maybe we could learn a little lesson
C
Maybe thisâll shine a little light
Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with
C7 F
The line between wrong and right
Use the one chance youâve been given
C
Cause once your in the ground and cold
Bb F
Itâs too late to start livinâ
C
You see you canât dig out of the hole
Repeat chorus:
Itâs hell on the bottom
And you canât dig out of the hole
