[Chorus 1:]
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to be at home alone just knowing that she' gone
That would cause me to lose my mind

[Chorus 2:]
So freight train blow your whistle
Take me far on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm leaving but I ain't coming back

[Chorus 1:]
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to be in this dumb big city Lord
In a small room with her on my mind

[Chorus 2:]
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I am goin' but I ain't coming back
