The Hole Lyrics - Randy Travis

A friend of mine bought himself a shovel 

Said, I'm gonna tunnel me a mine 

He set out to be a rich man 

Happiness is what he thought he'd find 

Got in too deep to see the diamonds 

Down too dark to see the gold 

Now he won't let go of the shovel 

And he can't dig out of the hole 

Deeper and deeper he's goin' down 

Driving his future 

Right into the ground 

He thinks he's closer 

The further he goes 

But he's still on the bottom 

And he can't dig out of the hole

I tried to throw the man a lifeline 

I tried to send him down a rope 

I don't think he hears me calling 

But every day I pray and I hope 

Somehow he finally gets the message 

Every spade of dirt he throws 

Only gets him close to the devil 

And he can't dig out of the hole 

Deeper and deeper he's goin' down 

Driving his future 

Right into the ground 

He thinks he's closer 

The further he goes 

But he's still on the bottom 

And he can't dig out of the hole

Maybe we could learn a little lesson 

Maybe this'll shine a little light 

There's no healthy way to mess with 

THe line between wrong and right 

Use the one chance you've been given 

'Cause once you're in the ground and cold 

It's too late to start livin' 

You see you can't dig out of the hole 

Deeper and deeper he's goin' down 

Driving his future 

Right into the ground 

He thinks he's closer 

The further he goes 

But he's still on the bottom 

And he can't dig out of the hole 

It's Hell on the bottom 

And you can't dig out of the hole...
