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
