I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Then to be in some big city
In small room with a girl on my mind

So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
Well I'm going, but I ain't coming back.

I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Then to see you another man's darling
And to know that you'll never be mine

So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
Well I'm going, but I ain't coming back.

I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Then to be home alone
Knowing that you're gone
Would cause me to lose my mind.

So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
Well I'm going, but I ain't coming back.
