The Hole Randy Travis
By Randy Travis
Intro:F C Bb F
[F]A friend of mine bought himself a shovel
Said Iām gonna tunnel me a mine[C]
He set out to be a rich man
Hap[C7]piness is what he thought heād fine[F]
Got in to deep to see the diamond
Down to dark to see the gold[C]
[Bb]Now he wonāt let go of the shovel[F]
And he canāt d[C]ig out of the hole[F]
Chorus:
[Bb]Deeper and deeper heās going[F] down
[Bb]Driving his fut[F]ure right into [G]the ground[C]
[Bb]He thinks heās closer [F]the further he g[Bb]oes[F]
But heās still[Bb] on the bottom[F]
And he canāt [C]dig out of the hole
[F]I tried to throw the man a life line
I tried to send him down a rope[C]
I donāt think he hears me calling
But[C7] everyday I pray and hope[F]
[F]Somehow he finally gets the message
Every spade of dirt he throws[C]
[Bb]Only gets him closer to the devil[F]
And he canāt [C]dig out of the hole[F]
repeat chorus:
[F]Maybe we could learn a little lesson
Maybe thisāll shine a little light[C]
Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with
The[C7] line between wrong and right[F]
Use the one chance youāve been given
Cause once your in the ground and cold[C]
[Bb]Itās too late to start livin[F]ā
You see you canāt di[C]g out of the hole
Repeat chorus:
Itās hell on the bottom
And you canāt dig out of the hole
