I'd rather be in some dark hollow where the sun don't ever shine
Than to be at home alone just knowing that she' gone
That would cause me to lose my mind

So freight train blow your whistle take me far on down the track
I'm going away I'm leaving today I'm leaving but I ain't coming back
[ piano ]
I'd rather be in some dark hollow where the sun don't ever shine
Than to be in this dumb big city Lord in a small room with her on my mind

So blow your whistle freight train take me far on down the track
I'm going away I'm leaving today I am goin' but I ain't coming back
