Lyrics Randy Travis

Randy Travis

The Hole

A friend of mine bought himself a shovel

Said Iam gonna tunnel me a mine

He set out to be a rich man

Happiness is what he thought head fine

Got in to deep to see the diamond

Down to dark to see the gold

Now he wonat let go of the shovel

And he canat dig out of the hole

Deeper and deeper heas going down

Driving his future right into the ground

He thinks heas closer the further he goes

But heas still on the bottom

And he canat dig out of the hole

I tried to throw the man a life line

I tried to send him down a rope

I donat think he hears me calling

But everyday I pray and hope

Somehow he finally gets the message

Every spade of dirt he throws

Only gets him closer to the devil

And he canat dig out of the hole

Got in to deep to see the diamond

Down to dark to see the gold

Now he wonat let go of the shovel

And he canat dig out of the hole

Maybe we could learn a little lesson

Maybe thisall shine a little light

Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with

The line between wrong and right

Use the one chance youave been given

Cause once your in the ground and cold

It's too late to start livin?

You see you canat dig out of the hole

Got in to deep to see the diamond

Down to dark to see the gold

Now he wonat let go of the shovel

And he canat dig out of the hole

It's hell on the bottom

And you canat dig out of the hole
